Verdict
AMERICAN HISTORY stayed on for third at Yarmouth on his debut after a tardy start. He’ll know more here and John Gosden has an impressive strike rate with juvenile runners at the track. Nathan Mayer is another likely improver along with First Nation, who finished just behind Quloob at Leicester on his introduction. Wild Shot finished closer at Chelmsford last time and Suspect Package was placed at Newcastle on his earlier debut. Bahar is preferred to Serenade The Stars of the newcomers.
