        Verdict

        Crimson King probably isn’t badly treated on his all-weather form but is 0-9 on Turf. Atalanta Breeze won a minor contest at Bath three weeks ago and this isn’t much better but the lightly-raced Ghadbbaan tries a new trip, as does General Joe. Chief Craftsman has hinted at ability but there should be more to come from EAGLE’S FOOT (NAP) after just the two runs. He attracted market support over track and trip when last in action but still looked in need of the experience – the Free Eagle colt has been given time to mature since.
