TAJ ALOLA came up just short at Newcastle when beaten only a head on his handicap debut. He’ll be sharper for that outing and Karl Burke’s colt can go one better. Already Gone has been beaten in nurseries and Lightening Gesture placed in a claimer last time but Neat And Dandy landed a maiden over 7f here and should improve for today’s extra furlong now handicapping.
