      Verdict

      Very little for backers to go on here with only Kristikhab of the sextet to have raced previously and, with his form moderate at best, a chance is taken on the fitness of Leo's Lucky Star, who is preferred to Sunset Strip. The last mentioned represents the stable of Mick Channon that has struggled with their juveniles, particularly first time out this season and we prefer to side with Leo's Lucky Star. A half-brother to the smart juvenile and Leo's Luckyman, Mark Johnston's colt makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and while the trainer's two-year-olds tend to do better with experience the yard is capable of producing a juvenile first time out, particularly in Scotland. The remainder make very limited appeal on pedigree with Royal Flynn probably the pick of them but, if forward enough, this should go to Leo's Lucky Star.
