    Verdict

    Tuffan finished a well beaten last of six on his debut and we're left guessing at the ability of the newcomers. Any strong support in the betting would boost confidence in Sublimation's chances given he hails from a powerful yard but none of Operation Chariot's four winning relatives scored on soft ground. Group 3 winner and useful jumper Gold Medallist did and he's one of six winners related to ROYAL PRIZE. Ralph Beckett's colt gets a tentative vote on that basis to make a winning start here.
