In depth

Verdict

Roger Varian does well on Tyneside raids and ASCENSION (NAP) can maintain the trend. The Dark Angel colt, strongly backed to improve on an unassuming debut, responded in style when bounding clear at Salisbury so can defy the penalty. Panist makes most appeal of those with the benefit of racecourse experience as Mark Johnston's Starspangledbanner colt showed more ability on debut than his finishing position may suggest and will improve. Art Power and Gravity Force, preferred in that order, look best of the newcomers.
