Formscan - Broadspear sets a good standard for a race like this and the application of cheekpieces might provide him with the extra push required for him to finally get off the mark at the seventh time of asking. However, he's vulnerable to less exposed types and, while Frankendael and Reach are both likely to be more wily after their respective debuts, it might be worth chancing a play with IFTIKHAAR, a 52,000 gns purchase whose dam is related to 1,000 Guineas winner Yesterday along with a couple of other high-class performers in their day. He's an interesting newcomer and warrants respect as trainer David Simcock's only runner on the card.
