Verdict
Speedacus is exposed but has performed with credit the last twice including in a nursery. Pepper Streak made a promising debut on soft ground at Cork where she didn't get going until too late. She holds Ernest Rutherford on that run though the latter will also have come on markedly for the experience. NEO SOUL is by Kodiac out of a very speedily-bred mare and the £55,000 yearling can make a successful debut though Gate Speed, a half-sister to five winners, is another newcomer to note.
