        Verdict

        Dutch Pursuit won over 6f here a fortnight ago but this looks tougher under a penalty given a couple of these went close over today’s trip at Wolverhampton last time. Fiction Writer was headed at the line attempting to make all on his debut but looks vulnerable to KENTUCKY KINGDOM if similar tactics are employed. The latter was doing his best work in the closing stages when beaten less than a length at Wolverhampton and the Haggas colt is taken to open his account. Shanghai Grace has failed to build on an earlier debut second at Windsor but the newcomer Solar Park is worth a second glance.
