Ghayadh looked a decent prospect when scoring at Beverley on his debut and his pedigree suggests he's only going to improve over this longer trip but it may be a big ask to concede 6lb all round, particularly to HELVETIAN. Mick Channon's colt is a half-brother to several winners and is clearly held in high regard on the evidence of an entry to next month's Group 1 Pheonix Stakes. With the yard's juveniles going well, it would be no surprise to see him make a winning start, though Oliver Reed is a potential big improver.
