        Verdict

        Several soft ground pedigrees on show and a chance is taken on newcomer LONG AWAITED. This son of Pivotal represents strong connections and he is related to juvenile winners. Moonscape, from a strong Cheveley Park family, is another of Pivotal's offspring, whilst Mungo Park is another newcomer to fully respect. Kieren Fallon rides Naqshabban, who is likely to excel at three, whilst the best form on show is probably held by Number Theory. Spirit Of Gondree seems to be taking a step forward with each run, and along with Twinkled is not to be ignored.
