4/9
Well related colt who got off the mark in a pleasing manner on debut. Overcame a slow start to power home and looks the type to make further progress. Has to give weight away but also needs to be respected as the only previous winner.

9/4
Couldn't quite reel in the leaders on his debut at Chelmsford but is likely to have benefited greatly from the experience. His yard is noted for patience with this type of runner but no surprise to see bold effort today. Place claims at least.

Cheap purchase with just an ordinary pedigree. Likely others will be a lot sharper.

Posted a couple of fair efforts but nothing out of the ordinary up to press. Needs to step things up again here.

Has experience of this course and at least handles the surface. However, likely the filly will be better over a longer trip and may be another on whom to reserve judgement until contesting handicaps.

Verdict

There was a lot to like about the manner in which CROSS RUNNER motored home on debut and, as this doesn't look any stronger, the Teofilio colt could pack too much of a punch for this lot. Natch is a well-bred colt that should be capable giving the selection a race, while Paddy The Chef may the best alternative for those looking for a shock result.
