Verdict

EPHESUS improved on his debut form, that despite possibly making his effort earlier than ideal, when runner-up in a Chester maiden 6 weeks ago, and with further progress on the cards he looks sure to play a big part. His stablemate Blackpool is another open to further progress and feared, along with Teofimo.
