      Verdict

      None of these inspire confidence including stablemates Absolute Dream and Zip. The former has had plenty of chances and the latter went backwards at Carlisle last time. Axel Jacklin is another struggling to get his head in front and has been gelded since last in action while Wild Edric won at Wolverhampton but seemingly had no excuse at Haydock last week. The rest make even less appeal so a speculative vote goes to DUBAI DISCOVERY to make a winning start especially if the Godolphin newcomer is supported in the betting.
