Finished just behind Paul Revere six weeks ago when fifth at Vaal; is respected as seemingly there is more to come from this nicely bred son of What A Winter and he knows more about the job in hand.

Related to 5f winner Mask On; sire's offspring tend to appreciate some cut in the ground; looks the part on breeding (by Vercingetorix); has claims as some good aspects to her profile and sire a rich source of sprint winners.

Yard's record a potential plus; this daughter of Skitt Skizzle makes first appearance; probably best watched this time and the betting could be informative.

Verdict

Firm preference is for SATYAGRAHA. He can take a significant step forward from his debut and produced an encouraging debut effort. Crescendo is one to consider while Dupont Emerald is on the shortlist, and Sasha Lee is one of the more interesting newcomers.
