NEW IMAGE looks well treated for his debut in the sphere when he takes on six opponents for the Download The Raceday Ready App Handicap (7.30) at Wolverhampton this evening.
The son of Frankel – dam Modern Look was a Group 2 winner in France – drew a blank from two starts at the Curragh for Ger Lyons two years ago.
New Image then moved to David O’Meara and had his first outing for 539 days at Southwell in the middle of last month.
Backed into even-money favouritism for a five-furlong maiden at Southwell, my selection didn’t let his supporters down, coming home two and a quarter lengths clear of Gabriae.
New Image has been given a British Horseracing Authority handicap mark of 80, and that’s an assessment that could prove lenient.

It will be a major surprise if Danny Tudhope’s mount doesn’t have more to offer, and the follow-up is very much on the cards.
At Wincanton, ROBBER’S BRIDGE has plenty going for him in the Hold Your Event At Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (4.38).
The Simon Earle-saddled six-year-old beat Saturday’s Uttoxeter scorer Hawk Stone by two and a quarter lengths over two miles here last time and shouldn’t be troubled by this return to further.
