      Verdict

      BADAYEL will be a warm order to finally get off the mark after his four second spots, three on Tapeta and one on Polytrack. He finished 13 lengths in front of Snow Space when Mark Johnston's well-connected son of Shamardal made his debut at Wolverhampton and though the latter can be expected to get closer he's unlikely to reverse the places. The selection's stable companion Ghost Buy has shown the occasional glimpse of ability though 0-15 tells its own story but Bluelion has a very speedy pedigree and makes a belated debut along with Whistling Sands.
