    Verdict

    Les Eyre's newcomer Cardinal Sin is a very speedily-bred half-brother to Confessional and wouldn't need to be a world-beater to make a winning start but COMPTON RIVER showed good pace for a long way on his comeback and produced some decent performances in his first campaign so looks the one to be on. Frank The Barber has been in good form on the all-weather and is better than his finishing position at Wolverhampton suggests. Taffetta should attract support with her allowance and though looking as though an extra furlong would suit this is a stiff 5f so she should be thereabouts.
