Verdict

INDIGO LAKE (NAP) would have finished closer than fifth at Kempton on his debut with a clear run. This extra distance will suit John Gosden’s Frankel colt and he gets the vote ahead of Kipps. The latter went close at Wolverhampton on last month’s introduction and is preferred to Itsallaboutluck, second over 7f at Southwell last time, while A Star Above looks a likely improver. Already gelded, Godolphin’s First Winter is a half-brother to a Group 1 winner while Sharney has a middle-distance pedigree and is another newcomer to note.
