        Verdict

        The Gosden team saddle two here. Highland Rocker will be better for his run at Kempton in November but it would be no surprise to see the newcomer Black Cyclone, a 200,000gns half-brother to four winners, proving the better of the pair. Inigo Jones couldn't match the pace of Gosden's Emperor Spirit at Wolverhampton in December and his stable is also doubly represented. DELIGHTSNSURPRISES cost €380,000 and is by Street Sense out of a mare from a top family in the USA. He's taken to make a successful debut in an interesting maiden.
