      Verdict

      Bush House was narrowly beaten by a horse rated 74 here on his debut while WAR AT SEA finished well clear of a horse rated 71 when second at Newcastle. The latter may just edge proceedings today, though it’s likely to prove a close thing. Born To Reason finished well behind Bush House on his introduction while Mount Cleshar and Millady Percy are even harder to fancy so the newcomer Waterville Dancer, a half-brother to winners in France, may prove a bigger threat.
