Verdict
MAN OF VISION was a little bit disappointing at Newmarket in October when only fifth following a creditable Yarmouth second on debut. However, Charlie Appleby has given him plenty of time to recover and he could be a completely different proposition now on his all-weather bow. Delinquent, who boasts a similar profile to the selection, heads the list of dangers from Get An Attitude.
MAN OF VISION is hard to deny in this 2yo novice. Ran fairly when beaten 5l in a Newmarket novice last time, fitted with a tongue-tie, and could show more if his breathing holds up after a short break. Next in contention is Get An Attitude, who showed good professionalism and solid effort when runner-up in a Newcastle novice on debut; she is a big filly likely to progress further. Also rated is Delinquent, who didn't stay the trip when last seen in a York maiden but should fare better back at 6f on this sharper track and in easier company.
