      Verdict

      Several potentially smart three-year-olds return to action including HEADWAY. Placed in both the Coventry and Gimcrack Stakes last year, he steps up in trip for his reappearance. Bengali Boys was beaten only a length in Listed company over 5f at York back in August while Lansky ended last year with a success in novice company at Kempton and is partnered by Ryan Moore for this. Mark Johnston runs two with Newmarket nursery winner Rufus King preferred to Lake Volta.
