Verdict
Thrill Seeker has failed to shown any progress in three starts and headgear is fitted in the hope of improvement. GOLDEN AGE showed some ability over track and trip on his debut without threatening the winner but should know more today and is preferred to Presumptuous. The latter finished a moderate fifth over 6f on his introduction while the newcomer Makeen, whose unraced dam is related to winners in North America, won’t need to be anything out of the ordinary to get involved
