        Verdict

        FINAL THOUGHT was runner-up to a subsequent Group 2 winner on his second start at Yarmouth and a good run from Mystery Show earlier on the card would enhance his claims in this nursery. We may not have yet seen the best of Zookeeper, who is eased in grade, while Farhan has already placed twice here and wasn’t disgraced in between at York. Eagle's Realm gets cheekpieces after disappointing at Ayr but Hafez and There's No Danger require improvement. Glowing For Gold produced a much-improved performance to score at Chelmsford and it will be interesting to see if he can follow that up.
