FIGHTWITHME returned a losing favourite at Newmarket on his racecourse debut but showed plenty of promise in finishing third. He’s taken to open his account today ahead of Coolagh Forest. The latter also showed ability when fourth at Kempton on his introduction and is preferred to the others with experience. Of the newcomers, Ghaly’s dam is related to Group 1 winners and Fiction Writer is a US-bred colt to note while Stormbomber is a 240,000gns purchase and brother to a Grade 2 winner in Canada.
