The penalised MOMKIN (NAP) has to concede weight all round but is going the right way and this looks a sound opportunity for the Charlton inmate to follow up a brave success in a better contest at Newbury last month. The other two to have run will need to improve significantly to trouble the selection and the market should guide with regard to the newcomers, of which Richard Hughes' Toronado debutant Torolight is especially interesting with Areen Omar and Palavecino also noted.
