Verdict

The placed horses haven't done much for the form of the Taunton juvenile in which SWIFT HAWK made a winning starts over hurdles, but he did the job in good style and may well find the necessary improvement to make it 2-2 in this sphere. Le Fauve is an obvious threat on the strength of his British debut third at Aintree, while Yellow Star got the better of a promising type at Lingfield recently and, along with Ithaca's Arrow, he should have a part to play.
