Verdict

TEN SOVEREIGNS turned a maiden here last week into a procession, coming home seven lengths clear of a huge field, and Group 1 entries suggest he's held in high regard. His stable companion Fantasy ran well in a Listed contest on the same card while Could Be King belied his 50/1 SP with a very good run behind Anthony Van Dyke in the Group 1 Futurity here a day later. Servalan looked a smart prospect when landing a Naas Listed contest and didn't seem suited by dropping back to the minimum on very fast ground in the Queen Mary.
