In depth

Verdict

Trump Alexander was fifth in the race at Ascot in which Sheikha Reika, who runs in the first division, was second. She showed some promise that day so goes on the short-list but Godolphin unleash a potentially smart performer in MAGIC LILY, who is by Derby winner New Approach and the first foal of a Group 1 middle-distance winner. Mystic Meg is a half-sister to a winning miler but it’s not encouraging that she sports headgear on her debut.
