      Verdict

      All hail from yards capable of preparing one to win first time up and it's hard to be dogmatic without the assistance of the market, especially with speed evident in all pedigrees. Hannon and Hughes is often the go-to combination on such occasions and Desert Force, a son of Equiano, should deliver a sound account. But when Ryan Moore teams up with William Haggas it's usually time to sit up and take notice and therefore AUSPICION is a tentative choice to oblige. He's a half-brother to Group Three-winning sprinter Enticing among others. Another son of Equiano is Pressure, who represents Clive Cox, while anything Mark Johnston runs at present needs to be taken seriously which brings Flash Fire into the equation. Growl represents Brian Meehan, whose juveniles are traditionally better for their debuts.
