Verdict
A couple of these debuted in separate races at the same Newmarket meeting last month. Al Nafir returned a beaten favourite when finding one too good but FIRST OFFICER finished third behind a subsequent winner and Ryan Moore stays loyal to the Irish Derby entry. Adjourn has been thereabouts in both starts and is preferred to Le Forban while Postmark and Kaasirr are likely improvers. The Frankel colt Chimed makes most appeal of the newcomers ahead of Uberrima Fides, Malcolm and Nolton Cross.
