Verdict
Several of these are entered in the Dewhurst including the Godolphin colt AABLAN. The latter made a winning debut when landing the odds at Newmarket and Charlie Appleby sent out last year’s winner. Starlore also made a winning start when successful over track and trip and Ryan Moore keeps the partnership intact while the unbeaten Cerulean Bay defied a penalty to win at Ayr. Both Mortlake and Devil's Point took a step forward on their latest starts but Inishfallen came up short in a decent handicap at York last week.
