Never In Red is penalised for winning at Brighton and that should give the edge to STERLING STAMP. The latter finished closer over 6f here on his return from a lay-off with a strong finish suggesting this extra furlong would suit. Broughtons Gold showed promise at Newmarket on his debut and winners have come out of the race though that was back in May and he’s been gelded since. Stony Look finished in front of Dancing Girl over a mile here recently and Morlaix may be best of the newcomers.
