Verdict

Brigham Young, Born To Spend and Balkhash were all beaten further on their latest starts than they were on their earlier debuts. Thistimelastyear finished a bit closer at Wolverhampton but was still well beaten while Three Weeks and Diablery made only modest introductions and have plenty of improving to do. But the latter’s stablemate and newcomer CULPABILITY will not need to be anything special to figure in this company and John Gosden’s $350,000 US-bred colt may prove good enough to make a winning start.
