Verdict

ALNASHERAT made a winning start in handicaps when scoring at Lingfield for Sir Michael Stoute early last year. Sold for 70,000gns subsequently, the Kingman colt has plenty of scope for further progress debuting for new connections. Excellent George will be winning off his current mark soon judged on a narrow-margin defeat over track and trip last time while Atalanta's Boy won three times over 6f in 2019 and debuts on the all-weather. Thrilla In Manila is an unexposed maiden winner while Rock Boy Grey finished in front of Enthaar when third at Kempton in March having both won their penultimate outings.
