Verdict
VICTORY HEIGHTS is penalised for making a winning debut over track and trip back in June but is rated 91 and James Tate’s colt should have the measure of these if running anywhere near his mark. Miss Nay Never went close at Catterick recently but Liberty Breeze was still well beaten when runner-up at Beverley in September. Musaytir and Sir Titus are both related to winners and newcomers to note.
