POPMASTER produced a late flourish to win over course and distance on his debut. He looked good value for more than the official winning margin and Ed Walker’s grey may well defy a penalty with normal progress. Tigerhon found one too good at Newcastle on his introduction while Kath's Toyboy finished runner-up over 7f at Chelmsford and is another to consider. Zenzero is speedily-bred and Cash Machine is related to the useful sprinter Tabdeed.
