On the face of it, IBERIAN has quite a bit to find graduating from novice company, but he created a very favourable impression when winning at Newbury and, given his pedigree, there should be lots more to come. Haatem had little chance with a top prospect in the Superlative Stakes but he beat the rest easily enough and he's the form pick, with Soldier's Gold another to consider up in trip.
