      Verdict

      Richard Hannon has won the last three renewals and Tobacco Road looks to have a leading chance after finishing runner-up at Kempton on his debut but YELLOW MOUNTAIN is just preferred. He also showed promise on his introduction when third to Chesterfield at Newmarket with a subsequent winner behind and Marco Botti's Coolmore-owned colt is taken to get off the mark here. The remainder with experience have some catching up to do to match the principals and that includes Digress but the newcomer Fehaydi is worth noting as he's a half-brother to high-class Fillies' Mile winner Red Bloom among others.
