    Verdict

    All four of these journey from North Yorkshire though Littletimyhoulihan has no easy task on his debut. The remaining trio represent yards with a good strike with two-year-old runners here including Mark Johnston, who introduces THE GATEKEEPER and he may prove good enough as a half-brother to a Listed winner in Italy. Atomic Force is related to a couple of winners and Khunan is the first foal of a winning sprinter.
