BREWING showed signs of his inexperience when scoring over 7f at Newcastle on his debut. He’s penalised for this but returned a clear winner on that occasion and this shorter trip should not be a problem. Lord Paramount returned a beaten favourite at Newcastle back in January and returns to action with a shout having been subsequently gelded. He’s preferred to the more exposed Flying Secret while the newcomer Annie Gale is related to six winners.
