Verdict

BLUE MIST has to defy a penalty but scored on his racecourse debut by three lengths at Kempton recently giving the impression there was much more to come. Creel showed improvement when placing in testing ground at Haydock last month but Proschema was still beaten five lengths when runner-up at Newmarket on his introduction. Military Law is a likely improver for the Gosden yard with Faraway Fields, Acquirer and Thunderbolt Rocks preferred of the newcomers.
