      Verdict

      Mister Moosah wasn't disgraced in a hot-looking maiden at York and makes more appeal than Lingfield fifth Thomas Cranmer, who was very green on debut and may need more time. Devil's Bridge made late headway when third to Frankuus at Haydock so should be suited by this extra furlong. Taamol should win races but, like Redgrave, will probably do better with this run under his belt. John Gosden runs two with Hartswell, who cost 110,000gns, sporting the Godolphin colours. But KHALIDI, who was an even more expensive purchase and also has a smart pedigree, can upstage his stablemate and make a winning debut.
