Verdict

The Fahey yard could hold to the key to this novice with SPACEMAN just preferred to Invincible Boy. He finished full of running when well backed on debut at Redcar in November and could be open to more improvement than his stablemate. King's Road Dandy showed plenty to work on first time up here last summer and could do a lot better this year.
