Verdict
All About The Pace was slowly away on debut at Newbury and should be capable of better, though Bayston Hill is probably Mark Usher's stable pick having been second in all three starts to date. Warleggan is another likely improver fitted with blinkers but the Paco Boy newcomer Salieri wouldn't need to be anything special to get involved. ROARING CHARACTER was easy to back on his debut in what looked a competitive maiden here last month but led for a long way and wasn't beaten far at the finish. Any improvement on that would make him tough to beat.
