        Verdict

        Very little form to go on with just two of the 14 declared having had a previous outing but Toronto Heights shaped with plenty of promise and sets a fair standard. The Barry Hills-trained colt caught the eye on his debut at Kempton earlier in the month when staying on well to finish clear of the remainder a close second behind a useful rival. The son of King Of Kings travelled supremely well throughout and looks nailed on to win a race of this nature before contesting better races, possibly at Royal Ascot. Of the newcomers, Mick Channon is doubly represented with Nights Cross appearing the better fancied over Arfinnit judged on jockey bookings while John Gosden's Nyramba and Richard Hannon's If Paradise make plenty of appeal on breeding and should be closely monitored in the exchanges.
