Bred better for turf or dirt?

If you have a horse by Hennessy out of a Mr. Prospector mare- would he be more likely to run better on turf or dirt? I know he should be able to handle both surfaces, but if you had to pick 1 as more suitable which one would it be?

In the Juvenile we have Set Alight (20-1 on the ML). This one is by Hennessy out of a Mr Prospector mare and is bred and owned by Juddmonte Farms. He is a grade 3 winner on turf in his last start. If based on his breeding this Kentucky bred can move up on dirt he could be a contender at a big price. He will have Bejarano up as another plus. Anyone know more about the trainer Head-Maarek?

I think he's got as good a shot as any other than 1stSam IMO, and will be a big price.  

T-Graph figs from Euope are a bit faster than Wilko's last year.  

Also, I'm no expert but I think Buckpasser is in the right spot to pass on the large heart.
