Geizy Teizy went close in a classified race at Newcastle recently while Cote d'Azur was beaten only a short-head at the same track last time. Philamundo has been thereabouts off similar mark lately without looking like winning but EXTRODINAIR landed a novices’ race over track and trip last month and gets the vote on his handicap debut with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause. Lethal Missile was in good form in the first half of the year when completing a double at Windsor while Reponse Exacte remains unexposed but has something to prove over this far.
