Verdict
HEART OF LIONS showed some ability when fourth in a newcomers’ conditions race at Newmarket on his recent racecourse debut. The Gosden colt should find this easier with his chief rivals making their seasonal debuts. Muzdawaj finished runner-up at Redcar in October though never threatened the winner and Sacred Trust, placed in both starts at Lingfield last year, makes more appeal. Divisionist failed to beat a rival at Newbury on his debut but can only improve along with Sixties Groove while Hayward Field is a half-brother to the useful Swilly Ferry and a newcomer to note.
