        Verdict

        Those with experience, including Branston Lion and Highland Dandy, will need to show massive improvement so we’ll concentrate on the newcomers. Ryan Moore rides Method for Martyn Meade but his breeding suggests he won’t come into his own until next year. Karl Burke’s juveniles usually know their job and BRIGHT APPARITION was a 30,000gns yearling and is out of a 6f winner. Calanais is also speedily bred but wears cheekpieces on her introduction. Jockey bookings suggest Fev Rover is preferred to Blades Equal of the Richard Fahey pair.
