Verdict
Hope Against Hope never threatened on his debut at Newmarket though this should prove easier for Mark Johnston’s charge and the others with racecourse experience make little appeal. Of the newcomers, Vatican Hill has entries in valuable sales races and Tahoo is a half-sister to a couple of winners over 5f. But David Barron has a fine strike rate here and HOTFILL may prove good enough on his debut especially if the betting speaks in his favour.
