Shaped as if in need of experience when fourth of 8 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, firm) on debut 19 days ago. Could be a player with that run under his belt.

Improved from debut effort when second of 4 in minor event at Newmarket (6f, good to soft, 7/2) 14 days ago. Will appreciate this longer trip and can't be ruled out.

Forecasts

Dukedom (5/6), Gaius (4/1), La Pulga (6/1), Goldsmith (7/1), Oh Great (11/1), Sterling Knight (16/1), Sonny Liston (18/1), Box To Box (18/1), Captain Square (28/1), Buxted Reel (33/1), Flaming Lord (150/1)

Verdict

LA PULGA was a ready winner on debut over C&D last month and should run another big race if turned out again after a respectable effort at Haydock on Friday. Gaius looks the likeliest danger on form, whilst Dukedom may be the pick of the newcomers.

  1. LA PULGA (IRE)
  2. GAIUS
  3. DUKEDOM (IRE)
