Verdict

Soul Of Motion was thrown in at the deep end in a Listed race at Epsom but wasn't disgraced. However, he was doing his best work at the finish of that 6f and the drop in distance here may not be in his favour. COSTA FILEY would have probably have won at Kempton had he not raced wide off the bend. He can make amends back on a straight course as he'd run well in a hot race at Ascot on debut. Biography was second at Bath last month and Richard Hughes prefers him to debutant Joybringer but he has some catching up to do. The speedily-bred Bushcraft and Meeting Waters may prove best of the other newcomers.
