Verdict

Only three runners in this opener but it's an interesting contest nevertheless. Both Cap O'Rushes and GLEAN impressed on their respective debuts at Kempton and Newbury and are open to plenty of further improvement. We just prefer the latter here as his victory came in a higher grade and he may be a bit more the finished article at this stage of his career than the Godolphin colt. Da Do Run Run is thrown in at the deep end but has a decent pedigree and will step up on whatever he achieves today.
