Verdict

The second juvenile race on the card with a little more experience on display than the runners in the earlier Albany Stakes. A number of these have created good visual impressions none more so than Eye Of Heaven a debut winner at Newmarket with that form strongly endorsed by the second Get It and third Tactical finishing fourth and first respectively in the Windsor Castle. If Get It makes a quick return he could be worth noting. Trainer of US raider Golden Pal has been bullish about his chances in recent interviews. LIPPIZZANER has bumped into two useful winners so far and this stiff 5f may prove the perfect trip, with his draw in stall 14 enabling him to get a perfect stands side pitch.
  1. Lipizzaner
  2. Eye Of Heaven
  3. Golden Pal
