Verdict

Flight Of Esteem gained reward for some consistent efforts when winning his maiden on the Polytrack. This is his debut on turf and if translating his All-Weather form to grass, he looks sure to have a say in this. Rifleman, who attracted money on his debut, has since put matters right by picking up a couple of small events. This to will be his turf debut and being from the same family as the high-class Observatory, it is hard not to see him improving for it. From the same family as the American champion Arazi and the top-class miler Noverre, Go For Success has plenty to live up to. This is his first venture into handicap company and is well worth a second look. However, a chance is taken with another handicap debutante Majhud, who has the likes of Bahri and Bahhare amongst her relatives. John Dunlops filly is out of a mare who won over 12-furlongs, so she should be more at home over this trip, rather than the three outings she had over seven-furlongs last year.
