Those with experience do not set the bar too high so Archie Watson's Make Believe colt QUANTICO, who catches the eye on pedigree, is taken to go in at the first time of asking. Dubai Immo has the best form on show and is next on the list ahead of Ramdon Rocks, who can build on his promising recent fourth here.
