      Verdict

      Bayside Boy, a 200,000gns yearling, was very impressive over the track and trip last month when not particularly fancied and will take some beating. However, the form pick has to be MASEKELA, a debut winner at Goodwood who failed by the narrowest margin to overhaul Native Trail in the Group 2 Superlative Stakes at Newmarket. Seattle King was well supported and made a successful debut at Salisbury while the ultra-consistent Robjon looks best of the remainder without looking likely to trouble the principals.
