Verdict
King Crimson sets the standard with a second at Yarmouth but it's not a very high one and one of the newcomers may well prove good enough. Wild Tobacco is in the Two-Year-Old Trophy while Primrose Valley and Town Crier are related to winners. The latter is worth noting for any strong support in the betting, but a speculative vote goes to NEXT GENERATION, who can boast the Listed winners Pyman's Theory and Forthefirsttime among her winning relatives.
