        Verdict

        STRADIVARIUS has a hike in the weights to overcome but John Gosden’s colt made a winning handicap debut at Beverley when scoring by six lengths and this extra distance should suit. Global Revival won a lower grade contest on the same card at Beverley when beating The Blues Master while Teodoro is penalised for last week’s success at Redcar and steps up in trip. Ryan Moore partners Whip Nae Nae, who has come up short in handicaps so far while the less exposed Here And Now could only manage third at Kempton on his handicap bow. Al Zaman and Jukebox Jive are maiden winners on the all-weather with further progress expected from the former given a couple of Group 2 entries later in the year.
