10/11

Course winner at the start of the month. Bettered that when third of 13 over C&D 9 days later and wasn't disgraced when fourth of 12 at Ayr last week. His rival probably has more improvement in him.

10/11

Progressive form, seeing off 7 rivals in a Ripon maiden over this sort of trip last month. Low-mileage sort from top yard so reasonable to expect further improvement in handicaps. Highly respected.

Forecasts

Pride Of Priory (10/11), Fairmac (10/11), Glentaneous (4/1)

It'll be a surprise if there isn't more to come from Ripon maiden winner PRIDE OF PRIORY, so he's fancied to make light of an opening handicap mark in the high-70s.
