Horner should finally get off the mark at the expense of the Abdulla pair of Water Taxi and Levitator. Paul Cole's charge has had his chances before but he didn't do a lot wrong at Chepstow and this race should be well within his sights. Water Taxi stays this trip well and should progress from his Newmarket debut. Levitator has been distinctly easy to back in two starts and is opposed in spite of the champion jockey aboard. Four Pence was an expensive 120 000 euro purchase and should be better suited by today's substantial hike in trip. East Riding is readily opposed. Potentially a fair race in which Horner just gets our verdict.
