Verdict

Several promising types on show here with ANCIENT MYTH marginally preferred to Harper's Ferry. The latter is the only one of these with an entry in the Derby and he shaped with a great deal of promise on his sole 2-y-o start but Ancient Myth's debut at Wolverhampton was also very encouraging and the Godolphin colt who beat him that day could turn out to be pretty smart. King's Reign represents the 'boys in blue' in this maiden and he also respected, along with Wild Waves.

  1. ANCIENT MYTH (IRE)
  2. HARPER'S FERRY
  3. KING'S REIGN (FR)
