Verdict
MORITO DU BERLAIS ran in snatches on his debut at Sandown having taken a keen hold going to post. Clearly in need of the experience, much better is expected here and Paul Nicholls' four-year-old can make the most of the 12lb he receives from Southwell winner Ready Token. Theatrebar is by King's Theatre so would be worth a second look if the market spoke in his favour but fellow newcomers Know More Oats and Southfield Vic are likely to need more time.
