        Verdict

        STRATUM was an eye-catcher on his debut in a back-end maiden at Newmarket. He ran green but was still beaten less than three lengths at the finish and will have benefited from another winter. John Gosden won this in 2014 and his Dansili colt can improve past the more-exposed Able Jack, though the latter wasn't disgraced in a valuable sales event on his final start in October and should find a race this year. Arithmetic hasn’t been seen since disappointing at Newmarket in August but he should do better this season while Finelcity was third at Salisbury in October, though sports blinkers so may not be entirely straightforward. The Graduate was sold for 100,000gns but needs to improve on what he's shown so far.
