    Verdict

    TRICORN improves with every outing and was untroubled to win easily at Newcastle last month. John Gosden’s colt is upped 10lb but should confirm latest running with runner-up Marzouq. Stablemate Shamrokh is the preferred choice of Frankie ahead of Munawer and the latter is one of a host of maiden winners making their handicap debuts including Dubara, Musikel, Medicean Ballet and Marilyn. Mystique Moon remains unbeaten after winning a handicap at Newcastle in February while Ernststavroblofeld was found wanting in Listed company at York in October but Ryan Moore’s presence suggests better is expected at this level.
