Verdict
Biloxi Boy steps up in trip under a penalty having returned a 20/1 winner at Ripon but NEVER FEAR struggled dropped down to the minimum trip in a conditions race at Beverley. However, the latter won over today’s distance on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton on her debut so gets another chance in this. Both D Point and Space Ninja fell tamely away having raced up with the early pace on their respective debuts while Ambushed never recovered from a slow start at Goodwood but entries in valuable sales races suggest he’s capable of better.
