Verdict

IDYLLIC STAR finally opened his account when dropped back to a mile at Hamilton and storming clear in an apprentices race. He escapes a penalty for that success and Keith Dalgleish's charge can go in again. Stablemate Burnwynd Boy is not out of this either while Whispered Times is another to consider as he finished ahead of Cyflymder at Beverley before going close in a blanket finish at Thirsk last time. He makes more appeal than the inconsistent pair Rasselas and Lees Anthem.
