The market will no doubt reveal plenty here but KHARTOUM is given the nod as this million-dollar colt shaped well when a running-on debut third at Naas and should take a big step forward here. Stable companion Iowa is another with lot better days ahead of him so is feared most, while Cooper's Hawk rates a solid place prospect and Horoscope appeals most of the debutants.
