3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 15/8, last of 11 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 33 days ago. Application of blinkers need to have a positive effect now but he is still low mileage.

SUPER PROUD very much caught the eye when midfield at Lingfield on her penultimate start and, having not been seen to best effect at Beverley subsequently, she's worth another chance now tackling this longer trip. Spy Legend and Eagles Dare, dropped back in trip, head the dangers, along with Crestwood.
