      Verdict

      Most of these have an entry for next month’s Dante at York and several are also in the Derby including MILITARY ORDER, a brother to the stables Derby winner Adayar. He landed the odds at Newmarket in October and will likely start a warm order for this stepping up in trip. Chesspiece is another held in high regard having made a winning debut at Newcastle while Rajasthan finished runner-up to a winner now rated 92 over a mile here last autumn. Exoplanet wears his owners first colours ahead of One Night Thunder while Arkendale is preferred to the newcomer Trust House of the rest.
