        Verdict

        This looks a two horse race involving Bodes Galaxy and Vaunt with the last named getting the nod and Cryptic Clue being thrown in with an each way chance Vaunt has had two runs to date and has shown a level of form that should see him braek his maiden tag very soon. His latest outing when fourth to Scarlet Runner at Windsor was eye catching as he was only beaten just over two lengths and with improvement likely once more he will take all the beating. Bodes Galaxy will pose as the biggest danger and ran with great credit at Lingfield when fourth of ten. But this looks tougher and he will have to raise his game somewhat to overturn Vaunt. Cryptic Clue was beaten a long way on his debut at Newmarket but this is a drop in grade and with such high profile connections any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Vaunt.
