      Verdict

      New Science made a successful debut last season and landed a Listed contest at Ascot in July. He had a run at Meydan in February which should have blown the cobwebs away. Power Of Beauty completed a double in minor company before narrowly beaten in a Salisbury Listed contest and his final run should be ignored as he got upset in the stalls. Honey Sweet ended the campaign with a Listed success at Deauville though that was on heavy going. TACARIB BAY made a successful debut at Haydock last May and didn't reappear until October when placed in a Newbury Group 3. Both runs were on soft ground but with faster going likely to suit he gets the nod. Ribhi's only defeat in three came in Listed company on fast going at Doncaster.
