Dreadfort

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: D O'Meara

12/1

Foaled January 26. Ribchester colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 6f winner Blessington. Some paper appeal but Stromboli has to be considered yard first string unless betting hints otherwise.

11/10

Foaled February 22. 150,000 gns Oasis Dream colt. Dam French 2-y-o 6f winner. The fact he holds an entry in the Gimcrack suggests he could be well regarded.

5/1

Twice-raced maiden. Nose second of 6 to St Andrew's Castle in C&D maiden (good to firm) 20 days ago. Enjoys a 7 lb pull in the weights so every chance he can turn the tables.

Forecasts

Last Crusader (11/10), Claim The Stars (4/1), St Andrew's Castle (9/2), Tricky Business (5/1), Stromboli (5/1), Dreadfort (12/1), Secret Daay (33/1), Miss World (66/1)

It could be significant that LAST CRUSADER has been put in the Gimcrack so he might be worth chancing on debut. Stromboli is 7 lb better off with St Andrew's Castle for a neck defeat here last month so he can reverse those placings and provide the chief threat.
