Verdict

Toby Maguire was never really travelling on his debut under Rules at Musselburgh but the dual points winner should strip fitter here. Another points winner, Eurowork, was well beaten when fourth at Exeter while Cubao disappointed at Doncaster and may need a quicker surface. FRISSON COLLONGES was headed right on the line over a shorter trip here in December. He need only reproduce that effort to go one better today as the extra distance shouldn’t be a problem.
