      Verdict

      This looks an easier task for TAFAAKHOR. He found one too good when favourite at Haydock two weeks ago but that looks stronger form than today’s opposition have managed so far. They are led by Fastar, second in this grade at Windsor on his debut, while Mister Blue Sky and Maazel look next best. Of the newcomers, Spun Gold is a half-brother to three winners including the useful Arab Dawn but 200,000gns purchase Blue Point is entered in the Group 1 National Stakes and may prove a bigger threat.
