        Verdict

        A chance is taken here with the newcomer Centenary, with Greyt Big Stuff and Meridian Grey two others expected to run well. Transcend Bloodstock have some very good two-year-olds with Howard and this 55 thousand guineas purchase can add to their recent success. He has a superb American pedigree and so long as he doesn't drift alarmingly in the betting he looks the one to be on. Meridian Grey is another interesting debutante from Kevin Ryan's yard. He also has a decent North American pedigree and should be watched closely in the market. The pick of the experienced runners has to be Greyt Big Stuff who has run well in two decent maidens at Yarmouth and Windsor. Kirklees and My Monna are two others worthy of a mention, but our idea of the winner is Centenary.
