Verdict

SAMBURU holds entries at Royal Ascot and the Gosdens' colt made a winning return at Salisbury last month. Mojomaker ran in some hot races as a juvenile and wasn’t far away back on Turf at Doncaster under a determined drive. Fast And Loose is a maiden but this is a first run in a handicap and improvement is expected. Code Purple was awarded a race in the stewards' room at Musselburgh a couple of weeks ago but Ben Haslam will be keen for the colt to get one under his own steam before much longer.
