      Verdict

      HYPERFOCUS is penalised 3lb for an earlier win at Leicester but Marc Monaghan’s allowance cancels out that disadvantage. He wasn’t disgraced when fourth in the Listed Woodcote Stakes at Epsom last time and that looks the strongest form on offer. Miss Sugars made a winning start at Thirsk but Dusker was a big disappointment when favourite at Pontefract having run well at Kempton on his earlier debut. Jamacho and Expenditure should finish closer while Six Strings is a newcomer to note.
