        Verdict

        Henri Martin a 44,000gns yearling may do better in nurseries, while a similar comment also applies Swift Tango. The latter a half-brother to middle-distance winner Secret Ballot, will do better when tackling further. Elusive City is respected, especially with Fallon on board, but the vote goes to Mullion, who hails from the in form Barry Hills yard. He has shown that a maiden is well within his reach and this half-brother to a couple of winners will be suited by this step up in trip.
