In depth
Verdict
Credit has shown a consistent level of form in his two starts so far and while the likes of Jeremy Noseda's Long Road and John Gosden's pair Government and Silverstein make appeal among the newcomers, we are prepared to give Credit a final chance to open his account. Richard Hannon's colt stepped up on his debut third at Bath when filling the same position in a decent Newmarket maiden earlier this month and should prove to be a tough nut to crack. Brian Meehan's Pizazz, a fair second in bottomless ground at Kempton last time has to be respected under these faster conditions, while Barry Hills pair Munaahej and Three Ships are probably better than they have shown so far. It is difficult to know which is the better of the two Gosden newcomers so the market may prove to be the best guide regarding their respective chances, while Long Road may want a faster surface. Mick Channon's King's Minstrel is another newcomer worthy of a mention but we are happy to stick with Credit, who gets the verdict.
