        Verdict

        Several of these made promising debuts including Raven's Raft, who was always in the firing line at Nottingham and stayed on well at the finish. He had Just For Fun behind and should again take care of Richard Fahey's filly. Medici Oro couldn't go the pace over the minimum at Hamilton but the extra will suit while ROCKIES SPIRIT led for a long way at Newmarket and should find this a bit less daunting. The latter gets the nod though Fake News is out of a mare who has produced winners with her first two foals so he's one to note in the market.
