    Verdict

    Legendary Guest can step up on his promising debut to beat Mystickhill and Regal Rhythm, with newcomers Bahama Baileys and City Wizzard ones for the future. Although it is always dangerous lumping on juveniles that go close first-time-out, it is hard to escape the claims of Legendary Guest who found only the highly-rated Winker Watson too good at Newbury last Friday. Although having no answer to the winner's turn of foot then, he meets nothing of that calibre here, and will be expected to go one better. Mystickhill was beaten by a stablemate of the selection at Thirsk recently and is already starting to look exposed, while Regal Rhythm was not far off the leaders on his Windsor bow and is entered for a couple of valuable sales races later in the year. Bahama Baileys is sure to have been well prepared if we know Mark Johnston, while City Wizzard will come into his own over further. On this occasion though, we will rely on the abundant promise shown by Legendary Guest.
