Verdict
PERUVIAN SUMMER has won at Newcastle since scoring here back in April. An apprentice takes 7lb off his back on his first start for a new yard and he can figure in the finish. Moonlighting went close at Leicester a fortnight ago but debuts on the all-weather along with Rhubarb but Kupa River slides further down the weights and Pholas and Mostallim go handicapping for the first time.
