      Verdict

      AL KHERB was a 33/1 chance when coming with a late surge to score over 1m2f at Newbury and, with that experience under his belt and another 2f to travel, he can remain unbeaten. Volcanic Sky put his debut experience to good use when just run out of it at Lingfield with the remainder well beaten so he'll find any flaws in the selection's armoury. Tajdeed is a half-brother to six winners, most of them high-class, so he's greatly respected on his debut but Point Of Honour will need to find more on his debut for new connections.
