Verdict
It was soft ground at Wetherby when TOUGH REMEDY was beaten only a neck on his debut. Short of room at a crucial point in the race, Keith Dalgleish’s colt rallied well and looks the one to beat with normal luck in-running. Danehill Desert returned a losing favourite in the soft at Leicester recently but the remaining trio all made modest debut efforts with Camacho Chief perhaps the most likely to show improvement.
