Verdict

POMOLOGY made a winning start at Windsor last month and can go in again. John Gosden's filly had a subsequent winner back in third and has room for any amount of improvement. A 10lb rise for an earlier win over 1m2f here has proved beyond Lamusawama but Master Ming wasn't beaten far when fifth at Sandown last time and can figure. Forward March failed to live up to his name when going backwards at Newmarket on his latest start while Aussie Lyrics and Back On The Trail are both better than their recent below par efforts suggest.
