Proschema stayed on into second at Newmarket on debut, though was still beaten five lengths and might be a short price in this. Creel ran much better here last month but Delph Crescent is now qualified for handicaps and his future may lie in that area. We'll take a chance on CONSULTANT, who was very green when fourth at Salisbury but kept on nicely in the closing stages despite meeting trouble in-running and will know more today.
