      Verdict

      Napoleon Solo was caught close home on very testing ground at Lingfield and would be an obvious choice if conditions worsened but in the prevailing ground it's the newcomer FARSAKH who looks the one to be on. She's the third foal of a mare who has already produced two useful winners and was a Listed winner herself so is taken to uphold the family tradition at the first time of asking. Comparative and Helvetia have both been acquired from Pascal Bary with the latter looking the more likely of the pair to mount a challenge while the newcomer Jaarih, a 70,000gns son of the top sprinter Starspangledbanner, is one to keep an eye on in the market.
