Verdict
Ubettabequick was a shade keen on debut at Newcastle but she was keeping on in the closing stages and could be a bit of value in his with her fillies’ allowance. Abu Royal is another likely improver while Old Smoke has the form in the book having placed twice at Newcastle and again on his Turf debut at Redcar. PATERNOSTER SQUARE, a €125,000 yearling, is a half-brother to two winning milers and has been found a nice race in which to begin his career.
