30/100
Promising type. Won 9-runner maiden at Doncaster (7f, firm, 11/2) 34 days ago. Remains open to improvement and big chance if coping with this drop to the minimum trip.

Once-raced maiden. 22/1, fourth of 7 in minor event at this course (6f, heavy) on debut (subsequently gelded). Off 7 months and this demands a sizeable step forward.

Forecasts

Skyrunner (30/100), Follow Your Heart (7/2), Blazing Son (16/1), Keepherlit (40/1)

Verdict

This is likely to boil down to a match between SKYRUNNER and Follow Your Heart. The latter did the job well on return at Wolverhampton and should have more to offer, but preference is for Skyrunner, who didn't look short of speed when scoring over 7f at Doncaster, offering hope that this drop in trip won't be an issue.

  1. SKYRUNNER (IRE)
  2. FOLLOW YOUR HEART (IRE)
  3. BLAZING SON
