No designated leader. Not a lot of speed as Scooter's Machine crosses from wide out. PAGAN IMAGE was well supported on debut but didn't have a lot of luck. Should be further improved for the longer journey and gets chance to atone. DEADLY TOUCH didn't have much luck either when resuming from a spell. Fitter and can improve sharply. BLACK SHADOW is a recent trial winner and has the blinkers on for debut. Expected to run well. LUCKY ESCAPE is resuming and is a recent trial winner. Among the chances fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Pagan Image.
