      Verdict

      Farhan, a half-brother to numerous winners, has had three of his four starts at Wolverhampton and was staying on over an extended 1m1f there last time. Kentucky Kitten is out of a mare who won over 1m6f and he's found 7f too short in both starts to date. Arthur Norse never got close to the leaders over a mile here last month but was going on at the finish. Mark Johnston has two entries with newcomer HARLEM SOUL, a 130,000gns son of Frankel and a half-brother to several useful winners, looking the part on breeding and fancied to make a successful debut.
