A tricky opener but Mr Morse is thoroughly unexposed and got off the mark on this surface at the first time of asking, though steps up again in trip today. Justice Pleasing only won a classified stakes at Newcastle last time and there is no guarantee that he’ll act on this surface while Tasaaboq’s strike-rate is off-putting and he’s not won in 15 tries over 7f. He is closely matched with Autumn Tonic on latest running here over 6f. ESSENAITCH carries a penalty for Monday’s win over course and distance but is well drawn again so may be worth sticking with. Baileys Pursuit has won on Tapeta but this will be her first run on Fibresand.
