Verdict

Those who witnessed the debut of RHAMNUS at Newmarket won't want to miss him. Richard Hannon's colt was left 6l but made up ground effortlessly and was only beaten narrowly by the experienced Fortinbrass. That looks strong form and this stiff track should play to his strengths. Uncomplicated was beaten a short-head on her debut and ran well against better rivals at Nottingham last time. She looks certain to be competitive with her allowance while Mick Channon has his horses in sparkling form and Cappadocia should appreciate tonight's easier going. Fletcher Christian had no answer to Mrs Brown's Boys at Goodwood and may find this track too stiff.
