Verdict

GOVERNMENT CALL scored in ready style at Sandown earlier in the month and with this step up to 6f looking a big plus he is taken to defy a 4 lb penalty in this fair juvenile novice. The Coffee Pod rates a big threat though if, as expected, building on his debut third at Nottingham. Tropical Island has the form to play a part and needs factoring in too.
