Verdict

Several of these are on an upward curve. Be Lucky My Son is receiving weight all round despite arriving on a hat-trick. His yard also run the tough Jimi Hendrix, who finished ahead of Lawful Command when third in the Britannia Stakes at Ascot. The latter beat Spinaround at Goodwood earlier and an earlier victory at the Sussex track is also working out well. BAY OF HONOUR is better off at the weights than when beating Positive Impact at Thirsk last month. Still unexposed, the Godolphin colt can make a winning start in handicaps, though Laasudood won nicely at Doncaster after chasing home subsequent Royal Ascot winner Secret State at Nottingham.
