    Verdict

    Maraweh sets the standard with a mark of 75 though it's a pretty modest one and he's only raced on fast ground so far. A handful of these are likely to improve past him and NORWAY CROSS could prove best of them. Luca Cumani's filly found only one too good when unfancied on her debut in testing ground at Sandown and is preferred to Aalim. The latter will have come on for his introduction at Kempton while Wannabe Your Man should finish a lot closer to Maraweh this time. Newsreader ran well at Bath on last year's debut and Joe Fanning prefers her to older stablemate Eton Dorney.
