Verdict
Triviality went close to making a winning debut over 5f at Southwell earlier this month and should figure. He had MECCA'S TEAM well behind on that occasion but the latter had finished runner-up over C&D before that and Michael Dods' charge is taken to turn the tables back on the turf. Take Root never figured in much better company last time and better is expected from him, while Wandering Lad could figure judged on last season's form. Norton Girl looks best of the rest.
