Shipwright has failed to build on last year's placed form in a couple of outings this year and Galeotti was well beaten at Chelmsford on his recent debut. Bletchley Park never figured in a York maiden back on October so it seems likely that NEWMARCH will not need to be anything out of the ordinary to make a winning start. The Godolphin newcomer gets a speculative vote especially if the betting speaks in his favour.
