Verdict

AMORALIST will have come on for his debut at Sandown last month. He wasn't beaten far and normal improvement should see him go close in this easier grade. Foster's Road was upped in class at Newbury last time and better is expected in this company, while Gabrial's Gift also looks capable of further progress. Beanstalk cost 47,000gns and is a half-brother to a juvenile winner and Renegotiate has a couple of winning relatives, but Roger Charlton has his two-year-olds in fine form now so Ali Hope could prove best of the newcomers.
