Verdict
STEEL ALLY made a promising debut when runner-up at Chepstow and may prove good enough with normal progress. Way Out has a chance on an earlier second at Ascot while Table Thirty Four debuted at the same track and is a likely improver. Of the newcomers, Tinklers Hill cost a hefty €165,000 while Choccabloc is out of a bumper winner and is preferred to stablemate Easy Rider. Beat The Bat, Tuscan Rose and Flat-bred Golden Ace are others to note.
