    Verdict

    Khalidi and Celestial Spheres were both beaten similar distances over 7f on their latest starts at Newmarket and Yarmouth respectively and both finished behind a subsequent winner. They will presumably dominate the betting but, given it’s such a close call between that pair on form, ENVISAGING is a sporting selection to cause an upset. James Fanshawe’s charge should have improved for last month’s debut fourth at Sandown and also steps up in trip. The Grape Escape may prove best of the newcomers ahead of Rupertcambellblack.
