        Verdict

        Fools Entire is a hopeful selection to beat the likes of Midmaar, Whitgift Rock and newcomer Jumeirah Scarer in the finale. Fools Entire has already visited the winner's enclosure on the Polytrack when successful in selling company in November, and since then has run with credit, notably when second in a nursery a week ago. That was over today's trip of seven furlongs, and he is worth sticking with in the belief that he will come good. Jimmy Gilbert's juvenile took part in Newbury's big sales race in October, so should be good enough to take a hand in this company. Midmaar may not have been at home on this faster Polytrack on his British debut. He raced mainly in soft ground when trained in France, but his win on good going probably encouraged connections to try him out. He may be best watched but clearly has ability. Whitgift Rock makes his all-weather debut on the back of some in-and-out form on turf, while Jumeirah Scarer comes from a yard housing plenty of juvenile talent. Pick A Berry's trainer normally allows them to come on slowly but surely so is passed over on her debut and our selection is Fools Entire.
