Verdict
This looks to depend on whether BURNING THE CLOCKS stays the extra furlong after a couple of outings over the minimum trip. Breeding suggests the half-brother to a Listed winner over 7f should do so and he gets the nod on his debut second at Leicester. There doesn't look much between the remainder with First Class Mail perhaps proving best of them given Amber Crystal is stepping up in distance and Aevalon has gone backwards after a promising debut at Bath.
