Verdict

The Beast from the East denied a few of these horses the opportunity to turnout at Gosforth Park last week, so it's no surprise that they've been declared to race at the earliest possible opportunity. River Glades finished just ¾L behind the consistent, but difficult to win with Heather Lark at Wolverhampton last month, so that pair appear very closely matched. With a plethora of the others more regularly seen in bumpers, this race provides the ideal opportunity for NATCH to break his duck for John Gosden. Evidently this Nathaniel colt is no superstar, but he should stay this longer trip, and he's taken to improve his trainers already impressive 40% strike rate at Newcastle.
