      Verdict

      The three to have seen the racecourse have hitherto shown little or nothing so this looks likely to fall to a newcomer, with the market expected to prove instructive. Mark Johnston unveils an 85,000euro colt in Ghost Train whilst Godolphin introduce the home bred GOLD CITY. At this stage it's a token choice between the pair with the Pivotal colt awarded the vote now his yard has finally started to crank into some sort of form. Towbee represents a stable whose youngsters tend to improve with time and experience and looks one for the longer term.
