      Verdict

      FROZEN POWER should be good enough to break his maiden tag at the second attempt while both Waveband and Kay Breeze are worthy of respect. The selection caught the eye in what looked like an above average maiden at Ascot on his debut finishing fourth in the process. He looks the first choice of the Godolphin pair and with further improvement to come he is sure to go close. Waveband improved from his debut at Hamilton showing enough on his latest outing at Chepstow to suggest he is good enough to win a maiden. He has run a little green on both his runs but the penny should have finally dropped and with that in mind he is worth noting in the betting market. Kay Breeze also caught the eye on his debut at Doncaster in May. He has not been rushed by his trainer John Gosden whose horses have been in great form this summer so he is well respected once again. A small but classy field in which we return to Frozen Power as the most likely winner.
