        Verdict

        Showdiemlad looked a likely future winner when runner-up at Salisbury but weakened quickly after leading to halfway at Bath. Hotline Bling scored on fast ground at Thirsk and his two subsequent runs have come in softer conditions. Glamorous Express was last of four at Windsor though wasn't beaten far but a chance is taken with SO SMART, who showed promise in a decent Newbury maiden and is certain to improve. Chimgan, a £68,000 son of Dandy Man, and Swayze, a 50,000gns Showcasing colt out of a 5f winner, are both bred for speed and should be noted in the market.
