PUROSANGUE is clear at the weights having run a big race in the Molecomb. He’ll be a warm order to go one better having been beaten only a head by Big Evs at Goodwood. The latter beat Alabama easily enough at Ascot earlier and the Ballydoyle colt has subsequently gone close in Listed company. Inquisitively, Baheer and Markakol all finished behind the selection at Goodwood while World Of Darcy placed in a Listed sprint in France and has the edge over Sketch and Mon Na Slieve on these terms. Cover Point took a step forward in novice company last time and is upped in class.
