      Verdict

      Currently 33/1 for next month’s 2000 Guineas, SEVEN HEAVENS lost his unbeaten record when failing to settle in the Dewhurst Stakes here in October. John Gosden’s Frankel colt should have matured over the winter and first-time headgear will help his concentration. Sir Dancealot came up short in the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster having won the Rockingham over 6f at York before that. He’d earlier finished just behind the Ballydoyle colt Whitecliffsofdover when the latter was runner-up in a Group 3 over course and distance in September. Rodaini’s form tailed off last season having won his first four starts, including a Listed race at Doncaster, but better is expected from Majeste this year having struggled over 7f in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster in September.
