Verdict

Some quite expensive purchases for one of the first 6f races for 2-y-os of the season, not least IMPRESSIVE ACT, who fetched 650,000 gns as a yearling and can make a winning start for the red-hot Appleby/Buick combination. Cuban Thunder shaped very well when runner-up on debut at Newmarket, so he's put forward as the main danger with this step up in trip sure to suit, ahead of Irish-raider Emperor of Rome and Master Franca.

  1. IMPRESSIVE ACT
  2. CUBAN THUNDER (IRE)
  3. EMPEROR OF ROME (IRE)
