Verdict
The Newmarket raiders may dominate this. JEFF KOONS only won by a nose at HQ but showed a very willing attitude to catch more-experienced favourite Elnajm and may edge out another Frankel colt Measured Time, who hasn’t raced since landing the odds by four lengths at Kempton in February. Iron Lion hasn’t been beaten far in any of his races and has place claims again, though finished just behind the seven-year-old Wonderwall at Pontefract last time. Anjo Bonita has placed in seven of her nine starts but looks thoroughly exposed.
