Previous results

In depth

Verdict

Novello Lad and Stormy Waves filled the places over track and trip last month but jockey bookings suggest the gelded newcomer Musical Act is preferred to the latter. Sir Bolton made a winning debut over the minimum trip though User Amistoso is preferred on his fourth at Newmarket. War Rooms cost a hefty 200,000gns but another newcomer , APPROVAL, already has an entry in the Group 2 Champagne Stakes here and that points to a big run from the Haggas filly on her debut.
