        Verdict

        Il Capitano was still beaten 10 lengths when third at Lingfield but Fayetta ran well over 7f at the same track last time and Princess Salamah has a shout on a placed effort at Kempton. Of the newcomers, Will of Iron represents the Gosden yard and is preferred to Boutonniere while Moonlit Sea is a half-brother to a Group 3 winner and makes more appeal than stablemate Path To The Stars. CROWN OF FLOWERS is related to a host of winners, including the smart Bahia Breeze, and Richard Hannon’s filly may well be capable of making a winning start.
