Six of these won their latest starts though Mustarrid won his maiden at Wolverhampton back in December and Daschas and Me Too Nagasaki landed separate divisions of a maiden race at Kempton in the same month. Harlow was the most visually impressive maiden winner when dotting up at Newcastle and Toy Theatre has been raised 10lb for winning a handicap at Wolverhampton last month. TRICORN has been upped the same amount after coasting home at Newcastle on his handicap debut but he looks capable of better still and gets the nod in a competitive contest.
