Verdict

Verbier made a winning debut at Wolverhampton though drops down in trip for this and LAZARUS DREAM is preferred. The latter also made a winning start but scored over today’s distance at Beverley and the third has subsequently won. Running Star showed some promise when placed at Southwell but Royal Jet failed to figure at Ascot last month.
