None of the older horses make much appeal and Penistone, related to three winners, may prove best of them on his belated debut. Kings Full was still well beaten despite placing here recently but Broken Force finished closer when only seventh at the track back in September. Stealth gets first-time headgear after placing again when third at Lingfield and is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Mozzafiato but NIGHT CASTLE (NAP) makes most appeal. The Godolphin charge was doing his best work at the finish when fifth over 7f at Kempton on his introduction and should go close with normal progress.
