Verdict

A number of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks an excellent opportunity for SIR CARNEGIE to follow up his emphatic Newcastle success and concede weight all round. Wearelongterm remains without a victory but could emerge as the main danger to Mickey Bowen's five-year-old ahead of the lightly-raced Auchinlek.
