Verdict

Roc Tredudon, Nortonthorpe Lad and Red Square Express are the three to look at here and Roc Tredudon is taken to make a winning debut. Nortonthorpe Lad has done well in both his bumper outings to date, finishing third at Market Rasen before scoring next time at Sedgefield. That was a game effort, but he now has a penalty to shoulder, and that could prove crucial. His trainer, Mick Easterby, is double handed, as he also saddles Red Square Express here, and he can come on for his debut third in a big field at Huntingdon in April. He has not been out since, but can go well. Len Lungo saddled two winners at Carlisle on Sunday, including a very impressive winner of the bumper. He introduces Roc Tredudon here and he may well prove good enough to score on his debut.
