Struggled when sent off a big price for a Newbury (6f, good-to-firm) maiden on debut a month ago. Others make more appeal.

16/1

Marked improvement on debut when finishing third over an extended 5f at Wetherby (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Further improvement needed if he's to taste success on this occasion.

Forecasts

Gabrial The Wire (2/1), Marie's Diamond (9/4), Look Out Louis (3/1), Critical Data (5/1), Dark Thunder (11/2), Ventura Bay (16/1), Five Helmets (25/1), Bawtry Lady (40/1), Seafaring Girl (40/1), Precision Prince (66/1), Kounna (66/1), Pink Porrino (100/1)

LOOK OUT LOUIS has the best of the draw and can follow up his recent success by taking this opening two-year-old contest. Marie's Diamond drops markedly in grade here having contest valuable conditions races the last twice and he can finish runner-up ahead of Dark Thunder who finished third in a competitive conditions event here last time.
