Verdict
Midnight Soldier won a Fontwell bumper on his racecourse debut but that was almost two years ago so LOOKAWAY is likely to be a short price to follow up his easy victory over 2m here two weeks ago given he has already placed over further. Old Beginnings may be best of the rest ahead of Morning Line.
