        Verdict

        DUX SCHOLAR is proven with a bit of give underfoot and with the likelihood of further rain between now and post time; Sir Michael Stoute's charge is given the vote in what looks a good maiden on paper. Plea is tried in first time blinkers. and is surely better than his first time effort at Haydock suggests. Another Laugh gives the impression on pedigree that this step up to a mile should be to his advantage. Go was quietly fancied for a debut at Ascot though has not seen the racecourse since. Jadhwah is impeccably bred and whilst the trainer is sending out first time out winners these days, its probable that she will improve dramatically for the run. Wet Your Whistle and Young Sahib will make appeal once sent handicapping.
