Through The Ages (4/7), Maasai Mara (15/8), Hampden Park (16/1), Another Run (25/1), Flowers (25/1), Queen Of Steel (50/1)

THROUGH THE AGES was unable to justify strong support on debut but it was still a very promising opening effort from this well-bred 3-y-o, and with improvement inevitable, he will take some stopping. Maasai Mara still looks a work-in-progress but blinkers may help him, with newcomer Hampden Park another to consider.
