Verdict

Nysaean confirmed the merit of his sole juvenile outing when getting the better of Burning Sun (pair clear) in a Windsor maiden in April but had his limitations exposed when easily outpointed in a conditions event at York the following month. This looks more his level while Kasthari, who finished well behind Nysaean at Windsor, improved to land a similar heat at the same venue next time. Both Majority Rule and Suleiman made winning debuts in maiden company and are open to plenty of improvement.
