Verdict
A maiden that looks to lack any strength in depth and Heading East can land it on his first attempt at one mile. The selection could never get on terms with the leaders over seven furlongs on his last start, everything appearing to be happening a bit quick for him and this stiff mile looks sure to suit. Baileys Red was green throughout on debut and should be all the better for the experience while juveniles from the Eoghan O'Neill yard always have to be respected and should It's Me Again attract any support, he would be very interesting. King's Counsel a 62,000 guineas purchase has not lived up to what was expected of him and this trip needs to bring about improvement. It would be surprising if anything else was to get involved and Heading East is given the nomination.
