    Verdict

    Tiger Webb rates the one to beat but he will be priced accordingly so it may be worth taking him on with OVERSTEER as long as he's attractively enough priced. John Gosden's juveniles often derive considerable improvement from their debuts and the market suggested that not a great deal was expected from him at Sandown despite his Royal Lodge and Racing Post Trophy entries; he still holds an entry for the latter race and can be expected to progress. Whether he has the scope to get the better of Tiger Webb at this stage of his career remains to be seen but there doesn't appear to be too much to fear from the remainder unless My Little Star and Pink Diva take considerable steps forwards.
