    Verdict

    NEVER UP looks to have a good opportunity to open his account. He ran his best race so far when stepped up to 1m4f at Thirsk and David O'Meara's charge has 3lb to spare with the more exposed Norse Light on today's terms. The latter returns to maiden company having failed to threaten in handicaps though is still preferred to Sr Swing and Philosofy, who have shown little between them so far.
