Verdict

Newcomers QUICKEN AWAY and Sockdolager were both put in the Group 2 Royal Lodge at Newmarket earlier in the week, suggesting they are well regarded by leading stables. The former has an eyecatching pedigree and is preferred before any betting clues are known. Dontlookbackinanga made a promising start to his career at Sandown last month and may prove best of the remainder.
