Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Liam Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 76

9/2

All the better for reappearance when ending losing run at Windsor (1m) in June, wandering but keeping on. Went close to following up at Newbury under this rider on Saturday so player down in class.

Form: 356-512

Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner novice event (4/7) at Carlisle (5.8f, good) before creditable third under a penalty at Pontefract. Opening mark demands more.

Old News (9/4), Verreaux Eagle (7/2), Mr Tyrrell (9/2), Prospect (11/2), Run Forrest Run (13/2), Glenn Coco (12/1), Moonbootz (20/1)

OLD NEWS only just failed under this rider at Yarmouth off this mark last week and should go very close again if reproducing that. Mr Tyrrell has a similar profile to the selection having gone close off this mark in a class 4 at Newbury on Saturday so looks the obvious threat, with the progressive Run Forrest Run best of the others.
