Verdict

DESERT CASTLE created a most favourable impression when making an impressive winning start to his career at Newmarket last month and, open to oodles of improvement, he's fancied to overcome the rise in grade and keep his unbeaten record intact. Gentle Hurricane ran a cracker in the Acomb considering his inexperience and appeals as the type to go on progressing, while promising Ballydoyle colt Sergei Diaghilev is another serious contender commanding plenty of respect.

  1. DESERT CASTLE
  2. GENTLE HURRICANE (IRE)
  3. SERGEI DIAGHILEV (IRE)
