        Verdict

        Archie Mckellar showed promise when third at Salisbury on his debut but MERLIN MAGIC is preferred. The latter followed a good earlier effort here with a narrow-margin defeat over today’s trip at Newbury and Davd Elsworth’s charge looks a safer proposition than guessing at the ability of the newcomers. Of those, Herculean is a brother to a Group 3 winner with Ryan Moore on board. Both the latter and Wadilsafa are entered in the Dewhurst Stakes while Airmax is another related to a Group winner.
