    Verdict

    The very expensive Nahham is penalised for a belated debut success at Kempton but Seamus Cronin's claim is a plus. SASSOON showed plenty of potential last season and looked in need of the run when mid-division at Newmarket last month so can gain his first success. Regal Lilly gets the fillies' allowance and she's related to four winners so is one to keep an eye on as is Aegeus, a close relative of a three-times winner in Ireland. Haadef also has a decent pedigree and he's another to watch.
