Verdict

Holloway Boy was no match for Nostrum in a Group 3 here last month but still finished clear of the well-backed third and was second in a Group 2 at Goodwood previously. He probably sets the form standard, though it’s surely only a matter of time before Dancing Magic gets his head in front and Silver Knott didn’t run up to his best when last of three in the Vintage Stakes at Doncaster, though is penalised for an earlier victory in this grade at Sandown. EPICTETUS created a favourable impression on the July course here on debut. The form is working out well and the Kingman colt still has an entry in the Futurity at Doncaster in a couple of weeks' time. Exoplanet only scrambled home at Newbury and collateral form gives him something to find with the selection.
