Verdict
Arizona High had a sighter at Lingfield at the end of October for which he will have derived considerable benefit. BLACK POND was a very expensive yearling and is related to three winners in the USA. He looked in need of the experience on his debut here recently and is expected to go one better. Sim Sala Bim had a couple of runs at Newmarket in the autumn, both over 6f which is much too short given his pedigree, and he could turn out to be quite decent.
