Verdict

Heath Charnock defied market expectations when a debut winner at Newcastle in November but probably didn’t beat much. May Sonic’s win at Kempton was largely down to an enterprising ride but he should have the speed for this and Cieren Fallon’s claim takes care of the penalty. Astro Jakk has been racing on Fibresand but Lingfield second Barritus and Ginger Max are likely improvers. Nahaarr is by Dark Angel and cost 120,000gns but fellow newcomer FASHION STAKES (NAP) is more interesting. She’s a full sister to two winners and was a 400,000gns yearling. Jeremy Noseda’s filly has an entry in the Commonwealth Cup and this looks a nice starting point.
