In depth

Verdict

All eyes will surely be on the Darshaan colt Hazim, who makes his debut for the Sir Michael Stoute yard. He has a decent jockey booked and is likely to be placed at the head of the market¿s affections. Others to keep a watchful eye on in the preliminaries are the Sadler¿s Wells colt, Suleiman, whose stable have started the campaign in fine style. Along with Hannon, who could put his experience to good use and hold them all at bay in the closing stages. Alam is another to consider if he receives significant support from the right quarters.
