        Verdict

        Johnny Johnson started favourite on his nursery debut at Newmarket but only managed third, beaten more than five lengths. La Habanera was only fourth on her first run in a nursery at Leicester but still finished ahead of Professor Tickle. Defying Orders won at Lingfield two runs ago while Count Palatine was only beaten a head at Newbury and has every chance of going one better. THE SMILING WOLF also took a big step forward when runner-up at Epsom and a drop back in trip can see the Channon colt off the mark.
