    Verdict

    Plenty of blue blood swimming about in a contest to watch rather than bet upon. Godolphin have introduced plenty of winners on Town Moor and Shami, a 1 000 000gns Bosra Sham colt, should have come on for his second in a Sandown maiden. The stable weren't firing at the time and while he is impossible to recommend at cramped odds, it would be a disappointment if he were to get beat. Raghba represents the Marcus Tregoning yard and the market will be very indicative as to her chances. She does not hold any fancy entries at present but Tregoning has a high strike rate with his three-year-olds. Tianella was very disappointing when sent off at odds-on for a Pontefract maiden while Honduras has raced keenly in her two starts and Philip Robinson will need to settle her early in order to maintain any chance.
