        In depth

        Verdict

        Quantum Dawn improved for the step up to 1m2f at Lingfield in March while stablemate Hatheem is the first foal of a Listed winner. Wise Glory ran well at Beverley on his debut and has been gelded subsequently but BYZANTINE EMPIRE looks worth another chance. Never going at Sandown when last in action, he’d earlier separated a couple of subsequent winners when runner-up at Kempton and gets the vote on that form. Zoran was still well beaten when runner-up at Wolverhampton and Assayer is preferred with the Frankel newcomer Valyrian Steel and Mister Blue others to note.
