Verdict
MUSICAL ACT left a poor debut effort behind when scoring over 7f here and the Godolphin grey can improve further over this extra distance. Portsmouth and Livinthelife look best of the others with racecourse experience while Candle Wax is a brother to a Listed winner and Green Keeper is the first foal of a Listed winner. Tawajjah, Lyric and Sir Les Patterson are others to keep an eye on.
