15/8

Promising type. 2 wins from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner listed race (15/8) at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 36 days ago by neck from Flotus. AW debut and could turn out to be very smart.

Forecasts

Sense Of Duty (15/8), Glen Shiel (7/2), Spycatcher (7/2), Happy Power (7/1), Edraak (8/1), Ebro River (10/1), Annaf (16/1), Bielsa (22/1), Judicial (28/1), Mondammej (33/1), Ainsdale (50/1), Magical Spirit (50/1)

On profile, SENSE OF DUTY rather stands out as a 3-y-o on a steep upward curve and, assuming she's as effective on the AW, she can take the step up in class in her stride and continue her winning sequence. A well-run 6f on a stiff track looks ideal for Spycatcher and he's second choice, with Judicial of some interest at a bigger price.
