Verdict
Sergeant Wilko was easy to back at Musselburgh but, despite being hampered at the start, defied market expectations to be beaten only a neck. Dominic Ffrench Davis has already had a couple of two-year-old winners this season and VALADERO was a shade unlucky not to add to that tally in the Brocklesby at Doncaster. A very expensive purchase, it will take a useful sort to lower his colours today. Bombay Bazaar is speedily bred and may be the pick of the newcomers.
