      Verdict

      The Godolphin newcomer Deciduous cost 480,000gns as a yearling but has already been gelded and is bred for much shorter trips. WENDELL’S LAD is preferred on a promising debut third over 1m2f at Lingfield when finishing in front of Bit Harsh and giving the impression this extra distance will suit. Ed Dunlop’s charge gets the vote though Benedict Wildes should also appreciate today’s longer trip having debuted over a mile at Southwell and he makes more appeal than Great Empress.
