        Verdict

        RED ROYALIST has the form in the book having been placed at both Ascot and Newmarket last year. Gelded last month, he makes more appeal than the others with racecourse experience including Commander and Discovered. Of the newcomers, Najashee is related to a couple of Group One winners and the Irish 2000 Guineas entry is preferred by Jim Crowley to Alqalsar. Call To Mind is in both the Dante and the Derby and the 525,000gns purchase Abjar is also entered in the latter race.
