        Verdict

        Sparkle In His Eye had to work hard to get off the mark at Newcastle and looks worth taking on making his Turf debut under a penalty. TO THE MOON made her debut at Newbury last July in a race won by the useful Star Terms. The second won her next start and John Gosden’s filly looks the one to be on here with fitness unlikely to be an issue. Desert Land showed definite promise at Yarmouth in September and Davydenko is an almost certain improver this year but Tammooz has been well beaten in a couple of runs on Polytrack and David Egan prefers Specialise of Roger Varian’s pair.
