Verdict
KODY RIDGE has the best form but is starting to look exposed. Nevertheless, experience is crucial in juvenile sprints and he can post a first Flat winner of 2016 for his yard. Dropped back to the minimum trip last time, his late rally just failed but the front two were good enough to pull 7l clear of the third. Nile Empress, expected to go well on debut, came home last of six but may prove better suited to this more conventional track having fluffed her lines at Brighton first time up. Waves is interesting on the back of a decent run too and William Haggas's newcomer, Highland Lotus, is the one to note in the market.
