Verdict

LEXINGTON FORCE beat an odds-on Godolphin favourite at Kempton when making a winning debut and the Hannon colt is taken to defy a penalty given the others with experience have yet to threaten. Of those, The Mackem Missile is preferred to stablemate Ghadbbaan and Dande is a likely improver but one of the newcomers may prove a bigger danger. A Knight's Tale is a brother to a winner and preferred to Netiquette but Theoule is a half-brother to three winners in France and makes most appeal.
