      Verdict

      Three of these made winning debuts, including Mark Johnston’s duo Leopardo and Leicester winner Top Of The Pops. The former is preferred having won at Newcastle when beating a horse rated 76 with the re-opposing Brown Delivers back in fifth but IRISH LEGEND got the better of a runner-up rated 83 at Nottingham last month. Hugo Palmer’s charge should stay this extra distance and come out best. Zagato never threatened on his debut but is still preferred to stablemate Patrolman of the Gosden runners.
