      Verdict

      2000 Guineas entry, KING VEGA, returns to action with what should be a straightforward task. Rated 106 having gone close in the Group 3 Solario at Sandown last summer, Andrew Balding’s colt is hard to oppose. Musahaba and Tasman Bay may prove best of the others with racecourse experience while She's No Angel is a half-sister to four winners and preferred to Haniya and Raqisa of the newcomers.
