Judgment Call is penalised for making all at Musselburgh last week and beat Novak before the latter landed a hat-trick. But the former had earlier finished behind ASCOT ADVENTURE when David O’Meara’s charge went close at the same track and the latter is taken to return to winning ways having subsequently placed again at York. Newmarket winner Outrun The Storm arrives in good form and is another to consider.
