EARLY MORNING DEW has taken well to Flat racing having shaped encouragingly in two runs on this surface at Wolverhampton. He could be up to getting his head in front in an ordinary novice. Second Kingdom ran well last time in a Kempton novice event and is a threat. Flying Instructor has to be considered too.
