11/10

Promising sort. 9/1, third of 9 in maiden at this course (9.9f, good) 18 days ago, staying on without being unduly punished. Course experience could well count for a good deal and sound claims with prospect of more to come.

Forecasts

Rathgar (11/10), Ramensky (9/2), Alumnus (6/1), King's Code (15/2), Torre Del Oro (8/1), Young Chaucer (25/1), Miller Spirit (28/1), Buxlow Boy (28/1), Autolycus (66/1)

RATHGAR improved on his debut effort here when staying on for third in a C&D maiden 18 days ago and with further progress in the offing, he could well be the answer. Ramensky for William Haggas, newcomer Alumnus and King's Code are others fancied to be in the mix.
