4/6

Promising individual. 11/4, won 9-runner minor event at Redcar (7f, good to firm) on debut 21 days ago, quickening clear. Likely there is more to come and he has to be taken seriously under a penalty.

This looks like a two horse race. WINDSEEKER ran a nice debut at Nottingham 10 days ago and he should come on for that outing. He's just favoured to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Spirit Catcher won well on debut at Redcar earlier in the month though and he should be thereabouts once again.
