Verdict
There are some potentially interesting juveniles on show with Verdant holding obvious claims following his debut run but he could be short enough so we'll take a chance with BEAUMONT'S PARTY with Illustrious Prince and Moobeyn newcomers to note. Verdant proved very green on debut, playing up in the paddock and at the start whilst it took a while for the penny to drop in the race itself. The winner had been well beaten on his two previous starts with the third also well held on debut so the form doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary. He is, however, a half-brother to Main Aim amongst other smart performers and could well leave the form behind. Illustrious Prince represents a yard with a good record with their juveniles at this venue but they've only had two winners in this division all year which has to be a major concern. Moobeyn is a half-brother to Keenes Day so makes some appeal on paper whilst Exceedthewildman has shaped well in two starts and should take a hand. Sheer Force hasn't really built on a promising debut in Arcano's maiden at Newbury but is worth considering although we'll take a chance with Beaumont's Party. The maiden in which he ran on debut hasn't really been tested but it looked a fair race and he shaped well enough in midfield having raced a shade keenly so we'll take a chance that Beaumont's Party can build on that run.
