      Verdict

      Entered in both the Dante and the Derby, POLLING DAY made an impressive winning debut over 1m2f here. The Godolphin colt is Frankie’s only ride of the meeting and can defy a penalty before going on to better things. Stablemate Stowell is related to a Listed winner and is preferred to Mirrie Dancers of the newcomers while Reverend Hubert and Scampi return to action with both expected to improve for this extra test of stamina.
