Verdict

KNIGHT TO BEHOLD went into many notebooks after his Newbury debut when going down by the narrowest margin to a more experienced and useful rival. Beating a field of maidens should be a formality and it will take a smart horse to lower his colours. Bow Street achieved less at Kempton but would be expected to deliver more having been badly drawn that day. There are some nicely bred newcomers in this from the top yards with Derby entry Talas catching the eye in particular.
  1. Knight To Behold
  2. Bow Street
  3. Talas
