This looks a three cornered fight between Sparkle In His Eye, Desert Land and TO THE MOON. The former represents a top yard and winning form, but he will do better in time over further and could be vulnerable under a penalty for winning a weaker race than this at Newcastle. Desert Land looked a ready made future winner on his debut but the selection represents John Gosden who has an enviable record in these novice contests. She looked a nice prospect when third to two fillies who have gone on to prove themselves at Pattern level and will take some beating in receipt of her allowance.
