Verdict
Methusalar was only beaten a couple of lengths when fourth at Warwick but Jay Jay Reilly was beaten 15 lengths when filling the same position at Market Rasen. Neo is a well-named son of Morpheus and a half-brother to eight winners but this can go to the £26,000 Shirocco gelding PRESSURE SENSITIVE, who may have more pace than the majority of these.
