Verdict

A maiden winner on his debut, WORTHILY hasn’t raced since finishing tailed off in last year’s Derby. Clearly held in some regard, he’s been gelded since and may have the measure of Untold Story. The latter also returns to action having won over today’s trip at Wolverhampton in December and is preferred to Seagulls Nest, still well beaten when second over 1m2f here recently. Snowalot debuts for new connections while Mr Curiosity is a full brother to a winner and Didtheyleaveuoutto and Kingmon's Boy have both placed in bumpers.
