The Waterman¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: T Ward| OR: 67| C

16/1

Form: 79-2155

Forecasts

Radetsky (10/3), Frow (4/1), Flaming Spear (11/2), Bakersboy (7/1), Miquelon (15/2), Shaykhoon (8/1), Rogue Force (11/1), The Waterman (16/1), Sun Power (22/1), Business (22/1), Show Me A Sunset (33/1)

THE WATERMAN's career best was over 6f here last month and he could be forgiven his two disappointing runs since on turf in competitive Newbury handicaps. The return to this venue could see him return to form and he makes most appeal. Flaming Spear is not the force he once was but he's on a useful-looking mark as a result. Frow is a C&D specialist now and he will be dangerous to rule out.
