        Verdict

        Karayel is the pick of some promising juveniles including See In The Dark, Racing Stripes and Hucking Hot, with Ten Dollars More worth a mention. Karayel was sent off as favourite on his Nottingham debut at the end of last month but found one too good in the shape of La Neige from the in-form Mick Channon yard. That was no disgrace, and on this faster ground he can be expected to go one better. See In The Dark was also runner-up on his introduction at Newbury a fortnight ago, and there should be little between him and the selection. Racing Stripes was only beaten a neck on his debut here at the end of March and is yet another to consider, while Hucking Hot probably has more to do than at Wolverhampton, while Ten Dollars More is well rated by his trainer but lack of experience will probably tell. Karayel created the biggest impression first time and is the one to be on.
