Verdict
Odds On Oli is upped in class off a higher mark attempting a hat-trick while Maverick Officer and Bathsheba Bay return to action having ended last season with wins in novice and a maiden company respectively. Night Castle’s winning run came to an end over track and trip on his handicap debut while Alrahaal was beaten a length in novice company at Goodwood a fortnight ago by QAROUN. There should be plenty more to come form the latter over this longer trip and Sir Michael Stoute’s colt can go in again.
