      Verdict

      TONYX was sent off at 25/1 for her debut but romped home by an impressive eight lengths at Salisbury in September. Ed Walker’s filly has Two Bids, rated 77, to beat in this but looks capable of doing so. The latter was placed in novice company at Ascot last time and should have the measure of the remainder on these terms, including Coup De Gold. Sharp Suited is a half-brother to a winner but has no easy task on his debut.
