        Verdict

        Another competitive juvenile contest with both of the winners in the field looking to have every chance of following up. Shielaligh beat a big field on her debut at Windsor and is sure to have improved in the meatime. However, she has been done no favours by the draw and looks to have her work cut out to beat Gracefully, who is from the same family as the useful juvenile sprinter Princess Taufan. There was much to like about her victory at Goodwood, even though it was in a small field. The time was good and she can only find improvement for the experience. Goblin has shown enough to suggest he can win a little race and his effort behind Milk It Mick at Windsor, bears the closest inspection. While the latter has certainly improved since then it would be folly to dismiss Goblin, even though he has disappointed since. Of the newcomers Major Smile is a half-brother to six winners and comes from the powerful Mick Channon yard, while Alan King does well with the few runners he has on the flat and his Rainsborough Mill is worthy of consideration, as he is a half-brother to four winners including the useful Gift Of Gold, King Midas and Bunbury Cup winner Mine. However, Gracefully sets a fair standard and may just have improved enough to follow up.
