        Verdict

        After showing typical improvement from first run to second Mark Johnston's LOVERS CAUSEWAY can score in the one mile two furlong maiden getting the better of Septemberintherain and Banks And Braes. After leaving behind an educational run on debut the pick just missed out in a small field contest last time. He showed a good attitude that day and with this yard past masters at getting progress from their charges we can expect more again. Septemberintherain also stepped up on his debut effort to run well in defeat on his latest appearance. He stayed on well that day so this extra yardage should suit just fine. Banks And Braes is a useful benchmark rated at 73 and although he is respected from a top yard he is beginning to look exposed in this company. Brave Enough also seemed to be heading in the right direction in two starts last season so is another to consider but Lovers causeway seems to have the most scope and is the chosen one here.
