      Verdict

      Having found one too good in each of his last two starts, Willie Muir's Totally Yours looks to have been found a decent opportunity to open his account and is taken to do so at the main expense of the newcomer Royal Zephyr and Seven Shirt. The last mentioned has shown signs of ability in both of his outings to date but needs to improve to beat the selection, whose last time out second in the Tattersalls Breeders Stakes at The Curragh is easily the best form on offer. Sir Mark Prescott's Royal Zephyr is the first foal of an unraced sister to the smart Ryafan and should be worth watching with an eye to the future. With Jamie Osborne's horses, particularly his two-year-old runners, in such good form at present Easily Averted has to be respected but it will take a good one to beat Totally Yours who is the obvious choice.
