In depth

Verdict

Jamie Spencer has ridden Harmonic Note just once, when third in a Listed contest at Goodwood, so his presence on board today has to be a hint. The assessor had a difficult job with JAYED JIDAN, who only had to canter round Galway to land his maiden. There should be much more to come and he's handed the vote in a tricky finale in which another progressive three-year-old, Morga, is also noted on her handicap debut. With John Oxx striking form, Karamaya should have benefited from her reappearance at the Curragh and Stradater won nicely at Limerick on just his third racecourse appearance.
