        Verdict

        Courageous Duke had Simon's Seat behind when a most promising fourth in a hot Newmarket maiden behind Helloimustbegoing and sets the standard for the remainder. The well-bred Rashiqa looked likely to justifiy favouritism on her kempton debut but tired in the closing stages and will be sharper for the experience. Hallion is progressing along the right lines judged on his latest Nottingham second behind Thaqib and looks best of the rest.
