      Verdict

      The filly Tholen is a half-sister to a number of winners including several sprinters. She's an interesting newcomer as is Alkhor, who is by Exceed And Excel and cost 230,000gns. The latter also has a Group 1 entry so must have been showing something at home. But his stablemate WAR WHISPER should take all the beating having got to within a length of the speedy In Haste over 6f here on his debut. Guiltless got taken off her feet at Ascot but should be capable of better and has more scope than Salisbury fourth Deer Song.
