Verdict
Magnificent has gradually improved and there was no disgrace in being narrowly beaten by stable companion Bullingdon at Salisbury. He should get into the mix though EMARAATY really caught the eye at Sandown and the 2,600,000gns son of Dubawi out of Group 1 winner Zee Zee Top will be very difficult to beat with normal improvement. Ateem wasn't suited to Chester's turns last time after a much better run here while the Camelot colt Baritone is a half-brother to two smart winners. Diocles Of Rome is one to keep an eye on as he's a half-brother to five winners including a Grade 1 winner in Australia.
