Verdict
Neymar looked ready to step up in trip after a fair run over this distance at Windsor but failed to quicken over an extra quarter-mile at Thirsk. He wasn't beaten far in either race so should get into the action here. Charlie Appleby runs a pair of expensive purchases making their belated debuts. Avenue Of Dreams cost 270,000gns as a yearling but Diamond Reflection cost a massive 650,000gns though has already been gelded. The market will probably tell us more though this can go to BANK OF GIBRALTAR. Peter Chapple-Hyam's charge came up against a useful type when runner-up at Windsor and just didn't last out when attempting to make all over an extra furlong at Lingfield.
