All the rage in the betting and made a winning start in 1¼m Newmarket maiden on debut in May. Defied a penalty with more in hand than the bare margin suggests at Doncaster (10.2f) and is the type to go on improving on handicap debut.

Forecasts

Israr (11/8), Wild Crusade (7/4), Warren Point (5/2)

WARREN POINT, Wild Crusade and Israr all look sure to win more races, but the vote goes to the first named who had more in hand than the bare margin suggests when defying a penalty at Doncaster and can maintain his unbeaten record switched to a handicap.
