In depth
Verdict
TYSON is going the right way judged on his latest effort when beaten only a neck at Doncaster. He steps up in trip and is preferred to Highland Premier. Several of the newcomers are worth a second glance including the £350,000 purchase Neptune Legend, who is a half-brother to the smart sprinters Summerghand and Eastern Impact among others, while both Noisy Night and Unspoken are related to numerous winners and Hurry Up Hedley represents a yard in top form.
