Verdict
Scytale couldn't get close to the penalised Broxi at Musselburgh but had much better fancied rivals behind and looks certain to get into contention. Run This Way finished last of six in that race but VERBENA was going on nicely at the finish when getting the hang of the job at Newbury and can make that experience count. Aviary is a half-sister to four winners up to a mile while Brave Blossom is related to several winners including two at Group 3 level. Shababiya is a half-sister to a 1m6f winner so is likely to need further in time.
