Verdict

VELOCIRAPTOR was yet another juvenile to produce a promising debut effort for the Hugo Palmer stable when third at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago and he can make it second time lucky here with progress anticipated. Sea Idol remains with his best days ahead of him and edges preference for second over Storm Blade.
