      Verdict

      ARTARMON couldn't get close enough to threaten Surya at Newcastle but the winner is progressive and Michael Bell's charge can go one better in a first-time visor. Horatio Star never got into contention on his Sandown debut but is likely to have come on markedly for the experience. He had Mutanaqel behind that day and the latter, who had shown potential last season, is another with scope to do better. Makawee has looked in need of this sort of trip in both starts at Thirsk and she could provide the main threat with her allowance.
