Verdict
Wolverhampton winner Hariboux was a huge disappointment switched to Turf at Yarmouth and is penalised again here. He is worth taking on with SKY VEGA, brother to the top-class miler Belardo. The latter made his debut in a hot-looking contest at Doncaster and kept on without threatening the principals – he’ll know more here. Mark Johnston’s filly Frost At Midnight, fourth at Catterick, is another likely improver and newcomer Herodotus is the first foal to race of a useful mare and by Iffraaj
