      Verdict

      So Hi Speed and Gupta filled the places in a maiden race over track and trip last month with Termonator back in fifth. The unexposed Gupta may come out best of that trio today but a chance is taken on OLYMPIC SPIRIT (NAP) handling the track. Beaten less than a length at Newcastle in both starts to date, he’s taken to open his account given David Barron’s yard is in good form and enjoys plenty of success on the Fibresand. Exalted Angel finished in front of Lille when third at Nottingham in October and could figure but Coastal Drive has a tough task conceding weight to these younger rivals.
