Verdict
REGULATOR had to be switched for a clear run in the closing stages over the stiff 5f at Beverley on his debut. He stayed on well for second and this extra distance should suit on that evidence. Rossall could only manage fifth in the other division of the selection’s maiden at Beverley but can also figure ahead of Tough Remedy, a losing favourite the last twice now. Indian Admiral is a newcomer to note for Mark Johnston’s yard.
