Verdict

First Winter is tried in cheekpieces after failing to match the finishing speed of the potentially-useful Matthew Flinders at Haydock. He is also to meet anything of that winner’s quality in this, though there are plenty of unexposed maidens from powerful stables in opposition. Better was expected of COINCIDENCE at Haydock last month as he was sent off favourite. He was too green to do himself justice but should leave that effort well behind and could be one to follow. Photograph could figure if appreciating the step up in trip and it should not be presumed that course and distance third Back From Dubai is the Godolphin second string. Kimberley was running on strongly over a mile at Kempton and should be winning soon if not today.
