£40,000 buy who ran to just a modest level in Carlisle bumper last month but his third to Star Gate in a point back in February is looking better all the time.

Connections have enjoyed success with this family and he went very close in Doncaster bumper in testing conditions in February, shaping better than the previous winner on the day. Gelded since.

Forecasts

Nells Son (11/8), Grozni (5/2), Hollymount (4/1), Geonice (13/2), Stunsail (12/1), Fabuleux Du Clos (16/1), Fortescue Wood (18/1), Lead The Pack (18/1), Barbsboy (22/1), Coopers Boy (33/1)

Verdict

NELLS SON did everything right bar win on debut at Doncaster in February and could be hard to beat if resuming in that sort of form back from 9 months off and a gelding operation. Grozni is a very interesting runner for Denis Hogan and it would be significant if there is market support for him.
