Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 64

4/1

Yet to make the frame in three runs, well held in the mud in 1m2f Newmarket maiden in October. Goes handicapping now and this close relative to stable's smart stayer Nayef Road can't be ruled out.

Sammy Sunshine (2/1), Kabuto (3/1), Space Kid (4/1), Fragrant Storm (4/1), King Viktor (7/1)

KABUTO really caught the eye when runner-up at Lingfield last month so looks the way to go here nudged up just 1 lb to the mark off which he finished second at Chelmsford on Friday. Returning duo Fragrant Storm and Sammy Sunshine are not without interest either though on their first try over 1m4f so should ensure Micky Appleby's progressive sort doesn't have things all his own way.
