    Verdict

    There's not too much in the way of positive things that we can say about most of these so Safari Sunset gets the call over Burnt Orange and King Of Charm. Burnt Orange is bred to be better than he has shown so far, but needs to start justifying that 37,000 guineas price tag. Safari Mischief's juvenile form affords him respect, and, with his stable in such good form, King Of Charm, who has shown some promise, can't be ruled out. The others look modest, although Vicky Pollard would hold claims based on her best juvenile form. Once again, then, the vote goes to Safari Mischief.
