Verdict

BEYOND A DOUBT (1) made his debut at Ascot and was safely held before another spell. Returned at Belmont and after settling back really found the line nicely to finish runner-up. Fitter and looks a top chance to go one better. ELEGANT ROCK (7) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Michael Grantham. By Awesome Rock from Seven Of Nine. Comes here off a Lark Hill trial ridden by Pike and he stays aboard which is worth noting. Expected to measure up. THE PRANCING PONY (4) was fair on debut at Belmont in the same race as Beyond A Doubt. Can only be improved. ASH WARRIOR (5) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Michael Lane. By Anders from Vanzant. Worth watching for a betting push. MERIVALE LOUVAIN (8) is a filly by Kermadec on debut. Showed good ability in most recent Lark Hill trial and worth watching closely.
