      Verdict

      Barry Hills sets something of a poser here saddling no less than five runners, the best of whom may be Fatayaat, who is out of a mare that won four races, including one at this trip, but John Gosden could well complete the maiden double here with Majorca. A March foal, he is out of a mare that won the Group 3 May Hill Stakes and is a half-brother to three winners including the smart miler Muhtathir. Park Aux Boules is out of a maiden mare and a watching brief is advised unless the market speaks in his favour. Dreaming Waters comes from a family full of winners and would be worth a small fortune to breed with, should she get her head in front, but her future looks to lie in handicaps, while Gerald Butler's pair of Warrad and Homeward, both February foals are others to note should the market speak in their favour. However, Majorca is taken to prove too hot for his rivals.
