6/1
Respectable eighth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should strip fitter with that under his belt.

Forecasts

Hooked On You (2/1), Skittlebombz (3/1), Leap Abroad (10/3), The Dunkirk Lads (6/1), Riversway (12/1), The Menstone Gem (14/1), Kentucky Rose (28/1)

Verdict

HOOKED ON YOU's novice win over C&D 16 days ago is backed up by the clock and on that evidence the assessor has awarded her a very fair opening mark. Leap Abroad is well worth another go on turf and is the chief threat unless there's confidence behind Skittlebombz on reappearance.
