Verdict

Theyazin hinted at ability for the Gosdens on Tapeta at the start of the year but returns from a break having a first run for James Ferguson. His former yard run POET OF LIFE, who is difficult to oppose despite shouldering a penalty for winning at Newbury when Alhammaam was beaten more than 13 lengths. Tendentious was third over 1m4f here on debut and is a likely improver while Tres Speciale is a half-brother to two winners so is worth a market check.
