        Verdict

        As always with a field of newcomers, the betting should offer some clues and any support for John Gosden’s first two-year-old runner of the year in WESTERLAND could prove significant. The Frankel colt is a half-brother to a host of winners including Gimcrack hero Showcasing and may prove good enough. Jockey bookings suggest 115,000gns purchase Enjazaat is preferred to Tadleel while Grand Koonta is related to four winners and entered in the Two-Year-Old Trophy along with Billy Dylan and Nebo.
