      Verdict

      An intriguing Novice Stakes that should go the way to the highest rated in the field SIGNS IN THE SAND. Godolphin's runner was third in a Group Three behind subsequent Group One winner Hooray last time which looks very strong form coming into this. Jeremy Noseda's Twist Of Silver looks the main threat on these terms with her run in the Albany Stakes looking the pick of her performances. Jerrazzi is open to loads of improvement and has been progressive in a couple of runs but Signs In The Sand looks the class act here.
