Tim The Taxi made his debut in the Brocklesby at Doncaster but was allowed to start at 50/1 and never figured. Neither Fast Gold nor Just Emma looked a sure-fire future winner on their respective debuts at Bath and over this track and trip so we'll concentrate on the newcomers. Mark Johnston does well here with the runners he sends down from Middleham though Mistymoistymorning was due to run in a maiden race at Southwell yesterday but BOYCIE looks to have the sharper pedigree. He's by Paco Boy and four of his dam's six previous offspring have won on the Flat.
