Verdict

No form to go on but this novice has been won by some exciting juveniles over the years and Charlie Appleby's expensive Justify colt KEY OF MAGIC is taken to come out on top and continue the yard's fine recent record. The Gosdens saddle two potentially useful sorts in Publish and Corinth and they can chase home the selection in that order.
