        Verdict

        Formerly with Godolphin, SONG OF SHADOWS has not raced since June last year but his close-up second at Leicester is much stronger form than today’s opposition have managed so far. A chance is taken he can run somewhere near the same level on his debut for new connections. Dandilion was well ahead of Royboy when placed at Newcastle last time and Q Cee is preferred to the more exposed Grainne's Dream and Cee Jay. London Rebel is the first foal of a Listed winner and a newcomer to keep an eye on.
