Verdict

Five of these won their respective latest starts with TAQDEER the most recent winner. He made all at Chelmsford to score with the minimum of fuss and is preferred to another Chelmsford winner in Galvanize. Sam Missile made a winning start at Kempton in January while Prize Money won on his racecourse debut over a mile here in October. Chester Street scored on the all-weather in the same month and Mengli Khan drops in class after finishing last of four in a Listed Feilden Stakes here on his comeback.
