    Verdict

    The 325,000gns newcomer Never Say When is from a family of stakes winners in North America and should be noted in the betting. Haseef never figured at Newmarket on his debut though Zaisan ran well for third at Windsor on his introduction and can get involved. RUNNING BACK never threatened the winner Qaader when runner-up at Newbury but the latter went on to finish second in last week’s Coventry at Ascot and the Hannon colt may come out best on that form.
