Morning Vicar made a winning start at Newbury but was well beaten in Listed company back at the same track last time. He’s penalised today which should hand the advantage to FINALSHOT, narrowly beaten at Doncaster on his racecourse debut. Easter Gold also went close on her debut when second at Uttoxeter and makes most appeal of the others with racecourse experience. Dream Brother debuts under Rules having won a point-to-point in Ireland last year while the market should offer clues with regards to the newcomers with Umndeni, Skandiburg, Colditz Castle and On Parole all worth noting.
