Brazos is an interesting newcomer and it will be fascinating to see how the Clodovil colt, who cost 80,000gns as a yearling, fares in the market against two useful and experienced juveniles. Stormy Paradise, eighth of nine on his Ascot debut, improved notably to run out a cosy winner in maiden auction company at Goodwood and the Meehan juveniles are renowned for improving with time. However, FAIR RANGER showed a resolute attitude to wear down Azagal late on at Doncaster and followed up by only going down by a neck to Cool Bahamian at Pontefract on Monday. He looks a typically tough Hannon juvenile and should appreciate this first tilt at a seventh furlong.
