Verdict
Zamdy Man finished a place behind Sir Quintin, who runs in the previous race, when third at Sandown on his debut with Checkpoint well behind. He should be thereabouts again but GOSPEL CHOIR looks the one to beat. Sir Michael Stoute's colt also finished third on his debut at Newmarket last August and won't need to have improved much in the interim to land this. Chemistry Master didn't fare to badly on his introduction at Nottingham without looking like winning but Dynastic looks thoroughly exposed nowadays.
