In depth
Verdict
It took OPTIMA PETAMUS 20 attempts to open his account on the all-weather but he did so in one of these classified events at Newcastle last month so may be worth sticking with. Telekinetic returned a losing favourite in similar company at Wolverhampton and is fitted with a hood while Beechwood James finished a lot closer over track and trip at this level last time. Queen Mia placed over a shorter trip earlier but was well beaten on this surface recently and the rest are even harder to recommend.
