    Verdict

    Aidan O'Brien has found an ideal opening for SIR ISAAC NEWTON, whose next start is likely to be in the Group 1 Lockinge Stakes. A Gowran maiden winner in May, he was by no means disgraced in Group 2 and 3 company on his only subsequent starts and can begin making up for lost time. Grey Danube has a wonderful record around here having won seven times so the selection will need to be somewhere near his best while Yuften, who scored for William Haggas at Newmarket, will be winning again soon judged by his head defeat by Russian Soul last month. Geological was well behind the latter here in February and has plenty to do.
