Verdict

ONE HART is penalised for winning at Hamilton last month but Mark Johnston’s colt only needed to be pushed out to record a wide-margin success and there looks more to come. Qaaddim made a promising start when fourth at Kempton and should go well while Stone Circle finished closer at Chepstow last time and is preferred to Atheeb and Kuwait Shield, who made only a moderate debut efforts. Proclaimer is related to a host of winners with Maurice Dancer and Glorious Rio other newcomers to note.
