    Verdict

    Some well-bred newcomers and the market will provide the biggest clues. David Loder's Godolphin juvenile academy kicks in to gear with Silver Seeker, a home-bred colt by Seeking The Gold out of a smart Listed winning sprinter by Night Shift, who could easily be good enough at the first time of asking. Sir Michael Stoute introduces Western, a Gone West colt from a smart middle distance family, is another likely type on breeding along with Sarayat, a Polar Falcon half-brother to a useful juvenile winner. Salome's Attack is best of those with experience but looks vulnerable to at least one of the newcomers here.
