Verdict

IMMORTAL shaped with plenty of promise when following the useful Authorised Speed home in a C&D novice on debut in December and is taken to go one better this time. It's likely that he will have most to fear from Authorised Speed's stablemate Givega, who looked good prior to finding the step up 21f on heavy ground all too much in a Grade 2 at Warwick. Mamoon Star is best of the rest.
