Verdict
Love De Vega had shown real potential in his opening runs before making all for a comfortable victory at Nottingham though the form hasn't worked out. Buckshaw Village was headed on the line in a Haydock maiden with the remainder well beaten while Lethal Levi could hardly have had a more consistent first campaign with two victories and five placed efforts in seven starts. POCKET THE PROFIT (NAP) completed a four-timer in October and started odds-on at Newcastle but was found to be coughing post-race when well beaten. He still looks on a fair mark and can get back to winning ways.
