Out of a bumper winner and showed something to work on when fourth at Warwick on debut 20 days ago. Solid claims with Harry Skelton booked.

4/1
Bred to want further but there was enough encouragement in his fifth at Catterick 5 months ago to think he can take a hand in this if he's improved from that initial experience.

Fame And Glory gelding who showed ability when third of 4 on debut at Ayr last month. Will need to build on that if he's to make a serious impact in this.

£20,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Dam (h118), 2m-2½m winner (stayed 2¾m), half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 25f) Mossley. Should have enough speed for this sort of test, so one note.

Forecasts

Fringill Dike (7/2), Ailes D'amour (7/2), Under Discussion (7/2), Ashover Hills (4/1), Fever Roque (17/2), Luke (11/1), Enemy At The Gate (18/1), Dastardly Dick (20/1), Songbird's Tale (150/1)

Verdict

UNDER DISCUSSION has the right sort of pedigree to go well in this event so, with a promising conditional taking the ride, he may well be worth chancing to make a winning debut in a race where the bar isn't set all that high by those with experience. Fellow newcomer Fingill Dike makes appeal, while Ailes D'Amour should feature if he can improve from his encouraging Warwick debut.
