In depth
Verdict
Il Primo Sole made a winning start at Yarmouth but is penalised for this after finding one too good in a conditions race at Sandown. N Over J also runs under a penalty for a debut win at Salisbury while this looks tougher than Dukeofwallingford’s latest task at Brighton when beaten only a head. Jeopardy John has something to prove back over 7f so the vote goes to ON THE WARPATH, who ran well at Chelmsford on his introduction despite starting at 33/1 and should improve for that experience. Statehood is a 200,000gns purchase and preferred to Brigham Young of the newcomers.
