Verdict

MORTLAKE was impressive at Leicester last time and can take the step up to pattern level in his stride for a yard which can do little wrong at present. Starlore and Aablan both looked nice prospects for top stables when making winning debuts, the former over this C&D, and they could be the pair to give the selection most to think about.
