Verdict
G Man won't need to be anything special to figure on his debut as the opposition have shown only modest form and look closely matched. Senorita Guest never threatened the winner when third over 5f at Lingfield last time and steps up in trip while Stepping Out has already had an outing over today's distance when beaten four lengths in second at Haydock last time. AL BAZ disappointed at Leicester recently but had shown some promise on his debut at Pontefract and, dropping down a grade for this, James Tate's colt may come out best.
