Whisperwood failed to justify favouritism when beaten into fourth on her debut at Southwell last month, but it would be no surprise to see her take a step forward. Even so, UNDERWRITER looks the more appealing option. The son of Mehmas changed hands for 200,000 pounds and goes for a yard which knows how to ready one first time out. Any market confidence behind newcomer Strength of Spirit would also be interesting. |
There are some interesting debutants here from some top yards, including Wathnan Racing's £200,000 purchase Underwriter. He's well bred (sired by Mehmas) and is expected to go well. Karl Burke has another opportunity to add to his fantastic 2yo record this term, he has won 11 from 21 starts so far in 2025 with a strong hand of juveniles and hinted there are better to come, Strength of Spirit should go well. KANISHKA does have the experience edge though, he stayed on well over 5f making good late headway, so should relish the extra 1f here. |
