Verdict
VICTORY HEIGHTS made a successful debut at Newcastle and his subsequent runs have been at Listed and Group 2 level behind Tactical. He has a penalty to carry but this is a big drop in class. Billian is also penalised for his Beverley victory but ran really well in a lucrative sales race over 6f at York where he was up with the pace until fading close home. He easily holds Tom's Reign Beau on that run but Madreselva would have to be considered on her second to subsequent Listed winner Acklam Express at Hamilton and she can be forgiven her run at Chester. Thornaby Pearl caught the eye at Newcastle and Al Ghariyah looks best of Richard Fahey's newcomers at this stage.
