    Verdict

    NAYEF ROAD showed a fine turn of foot to win going away at Haydock. An opening mark of 85 in handicaps is probably about right but he looks the most progressive of these. Kuwait Station and Burj have already won twice but the former only beat one home when favourite last time at Ripon and was well behind the latter when last in the Coventry Stakes earlier. Glory didn’t run up to the form of his second at Ascot when only fifth next time at Goodwood.
