Verdict
Only the three in this have racecourse experience but Tenfold showed plenty of promise at York in October in a race that’s worked out well. He did well to get into contention after blowing the start and only faded close home. The second and third in that contest have won since. Choral Work is a nicely-bred daughter of Nathaniel who is likely to improve with experience but one of the debutants could make a winning start. WORTHILY has a cracking pedigree being a brother to a middle-distance winner and a half-brother to several others including three who won at Group 2 level. He could be one to follow this year.
