      Verdict

      All five in this who have had a run look capable of progressing with time and experience. NIETZSCHE finished ahead of Bochart when both were introduced at Haydock and is taken to do so once again, although Charlie Appleby's juveniles have all improved considerably for their initial racecourse experience and it would be no surprise were he to produce a much-improved performance this time around. Welford and Spongy should both come on again but appeal more as nursery types down the line. Bluebeard looks more appropriate short-list material as he was noted staying on nicely on debut in the Newbury maiden won by Qeyaadah.
