Verdict
EL CAMINO placed over track and trip before scoring in a higher grade at Brighton on his debut for Mick Appleby’s yard. He has plenty of scope for further progress and is preferred to another recent Brighton winner in Adace. The latter steps up from 7f as does Almost An Angel, who has been competing in better company than this though previous attempts at a mile fail to inspire confidence. Accrington Stanley placed yet again when third at Windsor still looking for his first win after 18 attempts.
