Verdict

Dubai Honour appeared to be getting a second wind when staying on into fourth at Newmarket and improvement can almost be guaranteed. But, after placed efforts at HQ and Goodwood, KEEP RIGHT ON looks the one to beat as Rival hung badly under pressure at Haydock when starting favourite on his second start having chased home the useful William Bligh on debut. Aquaman, Master Zoffany and State Of Bliss will all need to improve on their first run.
