    Verdict

    Tempus was second in this grade at Doncaster in March but below that form subsequently at Newcastle. Bell Rock has placed form at a higher level, however, and holds Catch Twentytwo on Newmarket running but the Newbury Spring Cup winner MODERN NEWS boasts a terrific strike-rate and is fancied to take the step up to Listed class in his stride.
