        Verdict

        FLYING MACHINE was beaten only a head at Doncaster on his debut. Richard Fahey's colt can land this with normal progress. Jersey Bull is steadily improving and went within a length of catching the winner at Bath last time but Just Marion went backwards at Chester on her latest start, though that may have been down to the soft ground. A half-brother to former stablemate and Group 2 winner Steeler, Secret Brief cost 150,000gns and stands out among the newcomers.
