In depth
Verdict
A field large in numbers but low in quality and on closer inspection not many can be given a chance of winning. Charnock Bates One looks the one to be on, The filly from the Tim Easterby yard was a fair fourth on his debut behind Imperialistic. He is sure to improve and will not be far away. Fair Compton rates the main danger she showed a modicum of ability on her debut when well beaten. However that was a much better race and she will find this much easier. Sinora Wood is another that should improve on her debut effort when she was sixth behind Obe Bold. Thadea was a fair third behind Pearl Grey on her debut and is another worthy of consideration in this trappy affair. Of the remainder Sforzando is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market.
