Verdict
ALL HAIL CAESAR has been quite highly tried in his two runs to date and can take advantage of this drop in grade to make it third-time lucky ahead of winning pointer Glorious Lady, who will need to settle better than she did when odds-on at Kelso if she is to win races under Rules. Look Now never threatened at Newcastle but Express Des Mottes has point-to-point experience and Jo Cashflow is related to winners and isn’t overstretched on her debut.
