        Verdict

        Barn Owl showed a big improvement when second over track and trip to Siskany, trained by Charlie Appleby. The latter runs WIRKO (NAP) in this and, after making a promising start when runner-up at Wolverhampton last month, the Godolphin colt is taken to go one better with his yard still firing in the winners. Evaluation is a likely improver while Crane is a full brother to dual winner and stablemate Bottom Bay and preferred to fellow newcomer First Light.
