        Verdict

        Craigstown can improve from his two year old career to land this at the expense of Voice Coach and Capstan. The selection disappointed more often than not last season and really showed little form wise to suggest he was any good. That said Godolphin have taken the time to persevere with him and as he is bred in the purple he is entitled to benefit with another year on his back. Voice Coach finished mid division in an average looking maiden at Windsor on his sole start. He can improve for the experience so any market moves should be noted. Capstan is another from a powerful yard so warrants respect but improvement will be needed from what he showed on his debut at Windsor recently also. A tricky race to call but we will return to Craigstown as the likely winner.
