Verdict

OH SO CHARMING showed the benefit of a promising Thirsk debut when scooting home on good to soft over a mile here ten days ago and might just be good enough to hold off Desert Hero in receipt of 3lb. The latter impressed when scoring on soft going at Haydock and started favourite for Sandown's Group 3 Solario Stakes but couldn't quite get to the leaders over that 7f. The remainder with experience have shown little so one of the newcomers may prove more of a threat. Trojan Spirit is bred for stamina so this is looks the right trip to start out as it is for Open Choice, a €100,000 half-brother to three winners.
