        Verdict

        HAPPY CALL has been beaten a short-head in his last two starts and has done nothing wrong so should gain compensation. Easy Code looks his main threat as he showed some improvement on ground with some give at Haydock but Royal Display, who showed early promise, has finished last in his two latest starts. Thahab Ifraj cost 110,000gns as a yearling and wouldn't need to be a world-beater to make a successful debut.
