      Verdict

      Move In Faster just about has the best form of offer and has assured fitness on his side too but was easily swept aside by the winner at Thirsk in a race where those behind rate as distinctly modest. He looks vulnerable. Hareeq has obviously had issues to be making his racecourse debut at this belated stage but he is in the hands of a master trainer and must be heeded in the market. However, fellow Newmarket raider YAJOOLL is preferred. He only revealed sparks of ability on debut at the end of his juvenile season but was nicely supported that day and wouldn't have to be anything special to score in a contest where the market could prove highly informative.
