Verdict
NAXOS is penalised for making a winning debut but he scored with plenty in hand at Newcastle and this extra distance will suit. Moush has run well on soft ground so far and is preferred to Bishop's Crown and Dagmar Run, though finished behind runner-up Dumfries at Brighton and the latter also makes more appeal than Native Beach. Tyndrum Gold and Rogue Tornado are related to several winners and are newcomers to note.
