Verdict

HAMISH (NAP) concedes 7lb and upwards to all bar one of his rivals but was mightily impressive when demolishing an admittedly ordinary-looking field at Windsor and looks the sort to take higher order. The only concern is the ground he'll face is unknown territory but he shaped well on good on debut. Kosciuszko, the obvious danger from the Gosden team, quite impressed when scoring at Sandown last season but has been off for 300 days and may just need this. Passion And Glory is a well-bred newcomer for Godolphin well worth keeping an eye on and Away He Goes shaped with distinct promise on his Newmarket debut and has definite place claims.
