      Verdict

      Unoriginal though it may be, Sir Michael Stoute has a tremendous record with second-time-out two-year-olds and Auditorium is given the nod over Less Of A Mystery and Devil's Bite. The selection, a brother of Group two winner, Mister Cosmi, ran better than his finishing position would suggest on his debut at Newmarket and can be expected to know a great deal more this time around. The form of his first outing is yet to come under scrutiny but it is doubtful that Kieren Fallon will settle for a modest pace here. And the partnership may have flown if Auditorium, who is entered for the Shergar Juvenile cup at Ascot on Saturday, responds well to the Fallon drive. Less Of A Mystery is obviously respected but has not really set the world alight and may be better when contesting nurseries.
