Verdict
Most of these can be given a chance including Turgenev. The latter finished runner-up at Doncaster on his introduction behind a winner trained by Saeed bin Suroor. That should give the latter a decent line on the form and the Godolphin handler runs AL MUREIB, beaten only a head on the Tapeta surface at Wolverhampton when five lengths clear of the rest. Durrell has a shout on his debut third at Chelmsford while King Lothbrok improved to place at Kempton last time and Lieutenant Silver has been thereabouts in a couple of starts over 7f. New Expo is related to a host of winners and is also worth a second glance.
