4/7

Bred to be smart, produced a promising first effort despite failing to land the odds on debut at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago. Every chance he will put that experience to good use and go one better.

Fetched six-figures earlier this year but too green to show much when eighth of 10 in maiden at this C&D (good) on debut 13 days ago.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton

11/2

Displayed plenty amidst greenness when fifth of 8 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago. Should improve on that for up-and-coming yard.

Forecasts

Changing Colours (4/7), Harlem Nights (11/2), Ancestral Land (11/2), Captain Winters (8/1), Novaportian (10/1), Gifted Angel (10/1), Revision (18/1), Dickieburd (50/1), Derwent Boy (100/1)

CHANGING COLOURS was held back by greenness but still displayed plenty of ability when a neck second at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago, and with that experience unlikely to be lost on him, he can make amends. Harlem Nights will also know more this time and is a threat, with Novaportian perhaps the pick of the newcomers.
