All of these encounter soft going for the first time including NEVER SO BRAVE, who also drops down in trip. The latter finished second over 7f at Newmarket on last month’s debut and that’s the strongest form on offer. Jubilee Walk is another down in distance while Mitwaa is a likely improver and is preferred to The Bitter Moose. Alaskan Gold cost a hefty £200,000 at the Goffs Breeze-Up in April and is preferred to both his stablemate Respectful and the selection’s stable companion Breath Of Wrets.
