      Verdict

      Most of these two-year-olds are upped in class on the back of placed efforts but FIGHTWITHME makes his handicap debut. John Gosden’s colt hasn’t shown the progress expected since placing at Newmarket on his debut but he’s the least exposed of these and first-time blinkers should also bring improvement. Li Kui finished second at Kempton recently but Beryl The Petal’s narrow-margin defeat to a winner rated 80 in a claimer here last time is arguably the stronger form. Flaunt It steps up in trip after placing over 7f while this is a tougher task for Whenapoet after finished third over a longer trip here.
