      Verdict

      Several represent powerful yards but TURN ON THE CHARM showed the most promise on his debut. Not beaten far when fifth behind a horse rated 87 at Kempton last month, James Fanshawe’s colt may prove good enough. Buwardy ran green at Newmarket on his debut and Imperial Square faded away at Newcastle on his introduction while Prince Imperial finished last at HQ back in August and is fitted with headgear. The latter’s stablemate Chairman Power cost a hefty 525,000gns as a half-brother to Listed winners while fellow newcomer and Godolphin colt Secret Victory is the first foal of a Listed winner.
