        Verdict

        DEVINE GUEST made a promising debut at Newbury and though unable to handle Listed company on her next start there this is a marked drop in grade and should prove well within her capabilities. Sun Central still looked very green at Newbury last month but ran well enough to suggest he'll be winning soon with normal progress and Almaas, who showed potential in both juvenile starts, is obviously much better than he showed on his reappearance at Ripon where he finished tailed off. Expect better from him and from the well-connected Monicker, who will have come on a bundle for her run at Haydock.
