        Verdict

        The application of cheekpieces has worked the oracle with EXMINSTER (NAP) and Ed Bethell’s charge won a higher grade contest at York last month. He has scope for further progress in the headgear and can confirm running on the Knavesmire with Bullet Force. Aguaplano finished just ahead of Tarbaan when going close at York and both can figure again while Million Thanks ran well at Haydcock on his handicap debut and is preferred to Fiftyshadesaresdev, who placed in an easier race here last time.
