      Verdict

      TASFEEQ was sent off favourite at Newbury on his second start last August but found one too good. However, the winner went on to finish second in Listed company so Marcus Tregoning’s colt is the clear form pick ahead of fillies’ maiden winner Sharla and Mummy's Boy, who has yet to race on Turf. Tacitus caught the eye on his sole start last year and is a likely improver.
