Verdict
COMICAS stands out in this on his close-up second at Newmarket. He beat a subsequent winner on that occasion and is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Gameplay. The latter is a half-brother to a couple of smart winners in France while Gershwin is the first foal of a Listed winner and is another to note. Dragon Mall is expected to finish closer after a modest debut at Kempton when ahead of Zzoro while Powderhorn was last of six at York on his introduction and may do better in this lower grade.
