Verdict
Prontissimo beat a subsequent winner at Kempton but steps up a grade for this under a penalty. Anmaat landed the odds at Lingfield but it was hard not to be impressed by the debut victory of BASHOSH at Leicester. Though the second was beaten again at Kempton on Wednesday, the third was beaten 20 lengths and Roger Varian’s colt looks capable of holding his own at a much higher level. Mobarhin is a likely improver but Makashi hasn’t looked anything special. Godolphin’s Mezzotinto has a nice pedigree, however, and is worth noting with Emerging also warranting a second look on debut.
