Verdict

MORLOCK (4) caught the eye on debut at Balaklava but failed to finish off the same way last start when jumping favourite at headquarters. Backs up quickly and gets the blinkers on to hopefully sharpen him up. Gets in well with the 4lbs clam and looks suited rising to 6f. His stablemate PURE CROWN (1) chased solidly into third behind a tearaway leader at HQ last time on debut. Is sure to have come on from that and looms as a genuine threat. VICTORIUM (2) has struggled so far but will find this easier and gets a key switch in Holder. Can improve sharply. And his stablemate GLITZY GOLDEN GIRL (5) will also find this easier and is worth a market watch.
