    Verdict

    A race in which the market is sure to prove informative, with some top stables represented. Salcombe, who is entered in the Dewhurst, is a half sister to a triple ten furlong Grade 1 winner in the States, and the stable is hitting top form just now so he just gets the nod over Montana, which is from the Richard Hannon yard that is carrying all before him with his two-year-olds.
