      Verdict

      CAPE BUNTING (NAP) looks the pick of these two-year-olds, running out an easy winner of a solid looking novices’ event at Newmarket. She holds a Group 2 entry and ought to be able to take this race en-route to bigger things. Queen's Sargent wasn’t beaten far in a decent race at York last time out and is capable of making the frame. El Chapo was getting the hang of things late on in his Doncaster debut but has a lot to find with the selection on that basis, while Northern Law has shown very little on two outings and isn’t sure to improve for this trip.
