        Verdict

        The Hannon yard bids for a fourth consecutive success in this maiden but Spanish Boy's best effort so far came over a mile at Kempton. Operative sets the standard off a mark of 83 and should go close with a repeat of his recent second at Ascot. He makes more appeal than Christchurch, who drops back in trip after placed efforts over 7f, but a chance is taken on FIGHTING TEMERAIRE. Dean Ivory's charge finished runner-up at Newmarket on last month's debut and a winner has already come out of that race. Bedrock is the first foal of a Listed winner and a newcomer to note given his yard has started to fire in the winners once again.
