11/8

Thrived in nurseries on soft ground last autumn, rattling off a hat-trick at Nottingham. Solid fourth on return at Haydock and again ran well at Leicester (5f) last time. Seems sure to go well.

Opened account in 7f novice event at Chelmsford in August. Turned in a rare below-par effort in the Balmoral at Ascot since and is the type to bounce back quickly. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Ropey Guest (6/5), Ainsdale (11/8), Lampang (4/1), Ventura Lightning (9/2)

AINSDALE thrived in nurseries last autumn and has looked just as good both starts back this term, so he's narrowly preferred to Lampang, who also arrives fresh following an encouraging reappearance at Musselburgh.
