        Verdict

        Rowland Ward came up against the potentially-smart Too Darn Hot on debut at Sandown and will likely have improved for the experience. Godolphin’s Dubawi colt Global Hero cost 320,000gns but doesn’t yet have any fancy entries. Chatham House was third over 6f at Newbury but only fifth upped to this trip at Newmarket whereas Fox Premier seemed to enjoy the extra furlong at Goodwood and has been well backed in all three starts to date. It’s a surprise that MISTER CHIANG only cost 25,000gns as he’s a full brother to Group 1 winner Madame Chiang. Mark Johnston could have another bargain buy on his hands if the Archipenko colt lives up to his pedigree.
