Verdict

Severiano might well have more to come but is likely to represent modest value due to in-form connections. Any cash for Bountybeamadam will need to be taken seriously, especially with a first-time visor applied after a couple of disappointing efforts. Messila Star is another to have been greatly below par on the last three occasions but the Noseda yard does well here with their select band of runners and it will be interesting to see how the Pivotal colt shapes in the market after a lay-off. Polar Kite is respected from a consistency perspective but ALICE'S DANCER has a course and distance win to her name and will go close on the best of her form. Oisin Murphy looks a really significant jockey booking.
