Verdict

Purple Spectrum's pedigree is packed with stamina so he may find this on the short side though he made an encouraging debut at Kempton in December. Grand Meister is another who will appreciate stepping up in trip though the form of his second place at Brighton hasn't worked out. HIGH CHURCH was a 33/1 chance on his introduction at Nottingham and was never in contention but picked up nicely from the rear once the penny had dropped and should be a different proposition this time. He can take this though Russian Remarque found a mile too sharp here a fortnight ago after a promising debut over this trip at Kempton. Sir Rosco is out of a mare who has produced winners with her three foals to date and he could prove best of the newcomers.
