Verdict
ASJAD was well backed ahead of his debut at Salisbury and didn’t disappoint. It’s hard to imagine that there won’t be plenty more to come from Roger Varian’s gelding and he should defy his penalty. Tromso ran well for third at Leicester in a race that’s working out and he should be winning soon while the four-year-old Royal Partnership hinted at ability at Wolverhampton but Yojaari beat only one home at Chester. Camerata is by Kingman and changed hands for £380,000 last year so connections will be disappointed if she doesn’t show some promise on debut.
