Verdict
Asian Angel finished last on fast going on his debut but showed the benefit of the experience when attempting to make all on heavy ground at Haydock and staying on nicely. He could probably do with some rain and DALAALAAT may have his measure. He attracted support on his debut at Sandown but looked in need of the experience and will have come on a bundle. Vexed never really got going at Goodwood but showed plenty of potential while Robert Fitzroy started favourite at Windsor after a promising start on ground with some give at Newmarket but found the going too quick and was well beaten. Peckinpah never got into contention at York but is another who will have come on for the run while King Of Change is a half-brother to the smart Century Dream and, along with the Mastercraftsman colt Technician, is one to note on his debut.
