Verdict

Sleeper Queen finished tailed off here on her introduction but the rest debut on the surface. Godfather finished closer over 6f at Wolverhampton last time without threatening while The Cola Kid finished runner-up over the same trip at Chelmsford though never troubled the winner. But OLD HARBOUR was placed over today’s distance at Chelmsford on last week’s debut and Mark Johnston’s colt gets the vote with normal progress. Business can include a Listed winner among eight winning relatives and is preferred to Psychic Power and Miller's House of the newcomers.
