Verdict

Otago was beaten a length over track and trip recently with Bobby Dassler, Bowland Park and Trais Fluors behind. But NEW HEIGHTS returned to winning ways with a cosy victory over course and distance last time and can defy a 3lb rise. Roundabout Silver finished well behind the selection but has subsequently scored at Bath while Dion Baker has gone close recently though has a poor strike rate.
