    Verdict

    Things Happen was beaten less than a length in a handicap here on Sunday and should find a race before long. But he is rated 5lb lower than Espresso Freddo, who has only found one too god in three of his five starts on Turf and Tapeta. ASCOT DAY is less exposed than both, however, and David Simcock’s son of Kheleyf can go one better than at Chelmsford on his second start where he would have got closer but for being hampered inside the final furlong. Mimic's Memory was always struggling on debut at Newcastle and may need further.
