Verdict

JOSHUA REYNOLDS (NAP) returned a clear winner stepped up to 1m5f at Newmarket for his handicap debut. John Gosden’s colt is expected to improve further today and defy an 8lb rise. Key Bid and Dark Pearl won their maidens over 1m4f at Thirsk and Chepstow respectively and both are less exposed than last month’s course and distance runner-up Duke's Girl. Tor was due to run at Hamilton yesterday while both Cray and Legato look up against it.
