      Verdict

      MOVIN TIME was unfancied in the betting on his debut but was beaten only a length over track and trip and Roger Varian’s colt will start a much shorter price today. Mithras debuts on the all-weather and is fitted with a tongue-tie having failed to show any improvement at Newbury on his latest start and Diamonds Are King will likely finish closer after a moderate debut third at Newmarket. 500,000gns purchase Alnajeeb and River Derwent, a half-brother to a Group 3 winner, are newcomers to note.
