In depth

Verdict

Ravens Quest finished ahead of Stadius when fourth at Kempton and Imperial Aviator was in front of Dwight D when a well beaten runner-up at Lingfield. PALMERSTON finished three lengths ahead of Pacommand on his debut before returning a losing favourite when third at Lingfield last month. But the runner-up has subsequently won and John Gosden's colt gets the nod ahead of recent course second Zauffaly and Godolphin's Boethius. Amazement is related to a Listed winner and a newcomer to note.
