      Verdict

      His Kyllachy has the most scope of these after just two runs but will need to find plenty of improvement to beat PALING off level terms on his handicap debut. Roger Charlton's colt is edging up the weights but has gone close at Goodwood and Sandown since winning at Brighton and looks the one to beat. Daisy Boy is held on the form book but Cape Banjo will surely win one of these sooner rather than later and makes more appeal than both Royal Reserve and Ansaab.
