Verdict

Having been gelded over the winter, WESTERTON matched the pick of his form as a juvenile when runner-up to a potentially smart sort on return/handicap debut at Doncaster 2 weeks ago (nicely clear of remainder). He gets the nod to come out on top from a 1 lb higher mark, with Shahbaz, who also shaped encouragingly on his return feared most. King's Code and Maasai Mara complete the shortlist.

  1. WESTERTON (IRE)
  2. SHAHBAZ (IRE)
  3. KING'S CODE
