We have always viewed him as a 7f\/1m sort of horse, so it was encouraging to see him shape as well as he did over 6f in a typically warm Newbury maiden that is already throwing up a lot of winners.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leading bloodstock agent Alex Elliott proves Dan Briden with his two-year-olds to follow this season.
