Verdict
Although a handful of these have visited the winners' enclosure of late and arrive here with their confidence buoyed, an equal number are unreliable and are in danger of becoming disappointing. However, Candelabra is still lightly raced and as such is open to a little more improvement at this level. Kindlelight Debut, Mandarin Spirit and Ryan's Future are others who are capable of making a fist of things and have to be placed on the short list of alternatives. But Kieren Fallon rarely leaves Newbury without a winner and a repeat of the comfortable performance at Yarmouth put in by Candelabra earlier in the season would be enough to see off the majority of the opposition here.
