      Verdict

      It is very hard to see beyond Raedah in the opener and Michael Jarvis's juvenile is the one to beat. Second on debut at Salisbury, it is probable that it was experience which got the better of her in the closing stages when she was out-pointed by the more experienced Sea Of Leaves. The time was decent, albeit the race was run on lightening fast ground but she displayed so much promise that normal improvement would make her very difficult to beat. Bryan Smart's juveniles always have to be respected and Doric Echo it is safe to say is not amongst the top tier of juveniles at Hambleton House. Doric Echo drops back to the minimum trip after two efforts over six and although some promise was displayed, it would be a surprise if he were to prove good enough to beat the filly Raedah. Chimbonda was green throughout on debut but is hard to fancy even taking that into consideration while Magic Cat hails from a yard that can ready a newcomer but faces a stiff task on debut to turnover the filly and selection Raedah.
