        Verdict

        CRYSTAL PEGASUS is going the right way having shown improvement when runner-up at Newcastle last time. Well clear of the rest on that occasion, Sir Michael Stoute’s colt may prove too good for the Gosden newcomer King Of Arms, a half-brother to seven winners including stablemate and Group 3 winner Kick On. My Vision is a 200,000gns purchase representing Godolphin and Kitten's Dream is another to note while Chinese Whisperer finished ahead of Savanna Gold at Kempton without troubling the winner.
