Rather than guess at the ability of the newcomers, it could pay to stick with EXPERT. His recent second over track and trip suggests a race of this nature should come his way and he makes more appeal than the others with racecourse experience. John Gosden trains a couple of the newcomers with the half-brother to winning stablemate Space Ship preferred to Never To Be while Meteoroid is related to four winners and is also worth noting in the betting along with Madeed.
