Runners Spotlight

Maltese Cross
Favorite

Dante and Derby entry; went close on debut at Ascot (1m, soft) and one better in a Newmarket maiden (1m, good) later in September; battled back admirably in the latter, which is strong form; looks a good prospect for 1m2f and probably even more so for 1m4f.

Alfaraz

Dante and Derby entry; 300,000gns yearling by Nathaniel; second as 2yo in small fields for a novice event at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) and conditions stakes at Epsom (8.5f, good); had no answers in the latter to a subsequent Listed winner but stuck to his task well and 1m2f+ will suit.
