Verdict
As a half-brother to five winners, including Fillies' Mile winner Quadrilateral, there is a lot like about the pedigree of SLIGHT OF FOOT, who debuts for high-profile connections and could make a big impact on his racecourse debut. Richard Hannon also introduces a notable type in the form of Law Court, while betting market support for Edwin Hubble, a half-brother to an Australian Group 1 winner, would also be highly noteworthy. Nova Centauri is another with a captivating profile to bear in mind.
Expert View Verdict
Not much to go on in a race in which the betting will yield plenty more clues. SLIGHT OF FOOT has a fine Juddmonte pedigree and is the token choice over another well-bred colt in once-raced Venetian Prince. The Gosdens' interesting newcomer Nova Centauri and last-time-out Ascot third Wechaad may be the pick of the remainder.
