        Verdict

        DANCETRACK caught the eye making up lots of late ground to finish fifth at Newmarket on his debut. Charlie Hills' colt should have the beating of Awjab and Dark Wave on that form and can open his account. Glorious Dubai is a brother to the high-class Manduro among others and is preferred to Hills And Dales of the Godolphin duo while 230,000gns purchase Mezajy is another newcomer to keep an eye on. Any strong support for the likes of Quick Defence and Natural Nine should also be noted.
