        Verdict

        TILOS GEM is well-related and this looks a good opportunity to start fulfilling his potential; onto the shortlist go Extracurricular and Larkham. Mark Johnston's colt has had three starts so far and makes his reappearance today. A lot of his relatives improved from two to three and this 50,000 Euros purchase is taken to continue to that trend. Extracurricular made a pleasing start to her career when a close-up fifth at Kempton last month. She wasn't beaten far behind Haakima in what looked a fair maiden and she is open to plenty of improvement. Larkham is rated just one pound lower than Tilos Gem and he showed a fair level of form as a two-year-old last Autumn. This expensive purchase is from the family of top sprinter Les Arcs and although there may be a slight doubt over this trip he cannot be overlooked. The Frank Sheridan duo are open to improvement, whilst Zelos Diktator never looked sure of what was needed of him last season and he will need to have learnt plenty over the Winter. This looks a three-horse-race and Tilos Gem can shine brightest.
