Verdict
Hazard Warning has shown nothing so far Pour La Victoire has gone backwards since finishing fifth in soft ground on his debut while Red Cobra is thoroughly exposed. Bond Club has stronger claims especially as it was testing going when he stayed on for fourth at Doncaster in July. The form hasn't worked out, however, and LEXINGTON PLACE will not have to be anything special to land this on his debut. A half-brother to dual winner Rex Imperator, he's entered in next month's Two-Year-Old Trophy and gets the nod.
