        Verdict

        Mister Links has won both starts in the manner of a smart juvenile and will be hard to beat in his hat-trick bid. Richard Hannon's colt was particularly impressive in testing conditions at Newbury last month and the form was given a boost when the runner-up scored next time. The Bonus King holds Mazepa on Norfolk Stakes form and should appreciate the return to this longer trip while Harb is progressing with experience and should not be underestimated despite a steep rise in class.
