Verdict

THE MESSIAH (6) took a while but was off the mark with a dominant maiden win last time over 1 m at Beaudesert. Was given a peach by Lloyd, quickly camping the fence before exploding in the straight to win by more than five lengths. Lloyd aboard again but draw sthe fence so won't spend a penny. But now the penny has dropped can go right on with it. Has more upside than most and looks hard to hold out again. CONEY ISLAND BABY (2) returned over 6f at Warwick and went close, finishing a half-length third. Fitter for it and the extra trip is a plus. Best figures are when second-up. Looks the main threat. MEKANIC (9) has placed two of last three. This harder but nice weight drop.
