So High showed signs of inexperience at Wolverhampton on his debut but should finish closer today along with Kempton third Tauteke. The latter pair represent powerful yards but Roger Charlton trained the winner in both of the above races and should have a good line on the chances of his newcomer OSTRICH, a half-brother to a Listed winner and preferred to stablemates Young Merlin and Aussie Breeze. Tammooz also looks his trainer’s second string and Smarter has plenty of improving to do while Seeusoon and Achaeus are newcomers worth a second glance
