Verdict
Several of these posted decent efforts at Ayr last time. COASE went the closest when beaten less than a length in a higher grade contest and looks capable of winning off his current mark in first-time headgear. North Of Amazing also found only one too good and can figure again while End Zone had to be switched on his latest start and would have finished closer than seventh with a clear run. Gainsbourg disappointed when favourite at Beverley with Frankelio looking best of the rest back on soft going today.
