Verdict
Sultan Baybars ran in the Horris Hill at Newbury after winning a Kempton maiden. He missed the break so ran better than the final result suggests. Good Omen was tried in Listed company at Pontefract after getting off the mark at Bath and should also find this a bit easier. But we were taken by the manner in which the Motivator colt TIME TO STUDY won on his debut at Carlisle and he could well extend his unbeaten record if handling the switch to Polytrack and step up in grade.
