      Verdict

      Juan Bermudez was the surprise winner of a Class 2 at Newmarket in the autumn. The Gosdens’ yard sent out last year’s winner and runs two. Rab Havlin partners the more-experienced March Moon but Benoit De La Sayette was the winning rider 12 months ago so newcomer Baltic Bird, also by Frankel, can’t be ignored. William Buick is here to partner NAHANNI for Godolphin. He’s yet another Frankel colt and has already won over the trip on the all-weather. Wolverhampton runner-up Chairman could also play a part.
