In depth
Verdict
JUAN HORSEPOWER started favourite at Bath on his recent debut but found one too good. He should have benefited for that experience and is preferred to Decadent Times. The latter has gone backwards since finishing runner-up at Lingfield last month but Spin Top posted a better effort at Salisbury on his latest start. Of the newcomers, Silver Line cost 150,000gns and the Godolphin colt makes more appeal than Prince Of Li and Bolt Phantom.
