Verdict

MY MATE ROGER well and truly bumped into one at Doncaster on his latest start and is taken to deservedly open his account in first-time cheekpieces. Test Run hasn't been seen since a promising debut at the same venue 10 months ago, but that form has worked out well and he's entitled to improve. Newcomer Matter of Britain is bred for longer trips but is in good hands and warrants a market check.
