9/2

Promising type. Second of 7 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, soft, 9/10). Off 13 months but this stiffer test should help unlock improvement and he'll be a danger to all if ready to roll.

Forecasts

Avarice (11/4), Delta Dawn (9/2), Tashi (5/1), Caldwell (11/2), Nashy (13/2), Pin Your Hopes (13/2), Khairy (11/1), Pike County (14/1), Cosmology (22/1), Lady Tasmania (33/1), Bells Of Thyme (50/1), Victory March (66/1), Highpoint Warrior (100/1), Namedinlockdown (150/1), Peckham Springs (200/1)

AVARICE arguably lacks the potential of Delta Dawn and Caldwell, but he has an advantage over those rivals here (race-fitness and experience respectively) and is taken to come out on top following his near miss in a Leopardstown handicap last time. Bumper winner Pike Country should pick up a race in this sphere before long, while Tashi and Pin Your Hopes should both be on the premises.
