6/4

Knew what was required when making a winning start in 6-runner maiden at Ffos Las (6f, good to firm) in July. Similar form when just failing to defy a penalty at Chelmsford last time and seems sure to be very competitive again.

10/1

Fairly useful at his best on the Flat but bled at Windsor in May and was in the process of running below form when departing on his handicap hurdle debut at Worcester last month. First run for yard after leaving Alan King.

Forecasts

Faattik (4/5), Time Step (6/4), Painless Potter (10/1), Marley Head (33/1), Roundabout Silver (66/1), Una Notte (150/1), Topofthetrifle (200/1)

FAATTIK made eye-catching late progress on his debut at Lingfield 19 days ago and is open to plenty of improvement with that under his belt, so he's taken to get the better of previous winner Time Step. Painless Potter can prove best of the rest.
