Verdict

INJAZATI completed a hat-trick over this trip when landing a Class 2 handicap at Newbury then found 1m4f beyond him at Newmarket. There'll be more to come this campaign and may be up to conceding Peter The Great 6lb. The Gosdens' charge won twice at Newmarket last summer, including a debut success, but didn't quite make the expected progress back there in July. Pride Of America has a race-fitness advantage having scored at Newcastle last month and though 4lb higher is by no means badly treated. Love Is Golden has won three times with cut in the ground so did well to finish runner-up on quicker going at Doncaster while Baryshnikov has won his share though generally needs his first run back.
