Firby started favourite on his final start at Newcastle but found 7f inadequate and this looks his sort of trio. Echo ended his first campaign with a short-head victory at Redcar where he stayed on strongly over the mile. He can go well if ready after a break but the vote goes to PREDICTION, who ran well for a long way on his reappearance at Newcastle and will be sharper for the run. Poet's Pride may be better than he's shown so far though he has a big weight to carry on his handicap debut, a remark that also applies to Pepper Street, whose three runs have been on Polytrack. It's unusual to see a horse trained by Sir Michael Stoute with three zeros to his name but Reveleon has been beaten a long way in all starts
