Verdict
Waikiki Waves doesn’t look an easy ride but kept on well to score over a longer trip at Leicester three weeks ago, when Glance Back was third, and has also won around here. New Millennium is a course and distance winner and has Richard Johnson back in the saddle but Red Devil Star just isn’t firing. CYBALKO was upsides the winner when falling at the last at Southwell. A visor replaces cheekpieces in this and he could finally open his account if it has the desired effect.
