      Verdict

      With no form to asses the market may prove useful, although all seven represent yards capable of readying one first time. None of these were particularly cheap and this could prove a useful juvenile contest, in which Richard Hannon unveils a couple. Sean Levey partners Uncle and the son of Harry Angel makes more appeal on paper than Optiva Star. Captain Wierzba was a 280,000 guineas yearling and it's no surprise to see him start over this trip as he'll need further in time. However, EXPERT AGENT is related to performers who were at their best over six and seven furlongs and gets the nod in the hope he'll follow suit. The other three are all respected in a tough race to call.
