        Verdict

        ALNASHERAT has the form in the book with debut third at Leicester. Not beaten far, despite a tardy start, Sir Michael Stoute’s colt is preferred to the others with racecourse experience. Godolphin run three newcomers with Journey Of Life the first foal of a winner on the all-weather and stablemate Quorto out of a Listed winner. John Gosden trains Handmaiden and her dam won as a two-year-old while Beleaguerment is the first foal of the smart sprinter Blockade and another newcomer to note.
