Verdict

Just a trio turn up for this contest and while the old adage suggests that backing the outsider of three should yield profit Red Presence will have to make plenty of improvement for his Newbury debut to beat the other pair, and ALASKAN SPIRIT is given the vote. Ann Duffield's colt scored on debut last month and after a blip at Newmarket, came back to win again on his handicap debut at Hamilton last time, when doing so in great style. The handicapper asks more today by raising him 12lbs, but the extra furlong can help him defy that. His chief rival should be Marston Moor, who won over this trip in a Kempton maiden and is not ruled out, though he has not given the impression that he is improving as rapidly as the selection.
