      Verdict

      GOTHIC was a 33/1 chance on his debut at Newmarket and never really got into the action after missing the break. He wasn't beaten far at the finish and with that under his belt can see off some well-connected newcomers. Alex My Boy appears to have been cheaply bought at 75,000 euros as he's by Dalakhani out of the brilliant Alexandrova, winner of the Oaks at Epsom and the Curragh. Hooded is related to a host of winners and is out of a mare who won a Grade 1 in the USA while the filly Seek A Star should make a decent middle-distance performer next season, as should Opera Duke, a half-brother to the useful Opera Gal.
