In depth

Verdict

Poldark is getting closer and was third on the Turf at Lingfield last time while Rockley Point occupied the same position at Newmarket on his racecourse debut and steps up in trip. But CALIFORNIA LAD also has decent claims having finished ahead of Knight Commander when second at Salisbury last month and Harry Dunlop's colt may well be good enough. Newcomers to note include Walsingham Grange, a half-brother to a Group 3 winner and the 50,000 euros yearling Prosecute.
