The market could be informative with interesting newcomers on show. The Queen's Free Verse would obviously be a popular winner, while 120,000gns purchase Fanoos is bred to be speedy. The latter hails from the Gosden yard who also unveil Iceni Girl but at this time of year experience is vital in juvenile contests and PYMAN'S THEORY is taken to build on a promising debut. Much was clearly expected of the Dascombe filly at Pontefract as she went off at odds-on. She revealed considerable potential in filling the minor placing and improvement looks assured. Dark Ages made a pleasing debut when a staying-on fourth in a Newmarket maiden at the Craven meeting and also merits respect here.
