        Verdict

        Opera Comica can make experience count over Bull Market, with Well Armed and Abstract Art just a couple more worth noting. All of these two-year-olds obviously have time on their side, and most, if not all, hail from top yards, so it may be a race to follow for future reference. John Gosden has two runners, with preference for Opera Comica, second on both of his last two starts over a mile on Turf. On breeding, the step up to 10 furlongs is just what he needs, and he is taken to come good. Bull Market was quite an expensive purchase and caught the eye when third on his debut here last month. That too was over a mile and he should improve, as should Abstract Art who makes his Polytrack debut. Well Armed disappointed back on Turf last time but produced one of his better efforts here when just touched off in a nursery. His ability to get the trip has to be questioned, and unless the market speaks kindly of any of the others, we prefer to side with Opera Comica.
