      Verdict

      Fly The Nest is a full brother to a 6f winner and cost €200,000. Godolphin have won this twice in the last four years so he demands the utmost respect. Fanaar is by Dark Angel and quite speedily bred but BAREND BOY stayed on strongly at Leicester last week once the penny dropped and, with that experience under his belt, can go one better today. Smile A Mile was odds-on at Newcastle last month but only beat one home. He’s surely better than that but big improvement is needed. Coco Cheval could have been found an easier race in which to make her debut but she might do better over another furlong.
