Verdict

This is not a particularly competitive affair and it is one which can go the way of KING'S CAPER. Franny Norton and Mark Johnston are a powerful combination here, particularly with juveniles. The son of New Approach was weak in the market on debut in what looked a stronger race than this, eventually beaten 2L into fourth place. Sesame Birah was second in a three runner race on debut but as a half-sister to a 1m4f winner she will relish every yard of this test and makes more appeal than It's Been Noted who did too much too soon last time but who went well here on his second start.
  1. King's Caper
  2. Sesame Birah
  3. It's Been Noted
