        Verdict

        Dragon Icon won nicely over 7f at Kempton on his debut but is penalised and conceding weight to the Derby entry LION TAMER. The latter ran green over today’s distance when runner-up at Kempton and the Gosdens’ yard is in top form. Oisin Murphy prefers the selection to Gentle while Halla Dubai and Expert Witness are likely improvers and Algernon makes more appeal than Mathematician of the newcomers.
