Well-bred sort, but last of 6 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good) on debut 13 days ago. Needs to leave that form well behind.

Forecasts

Saxon King (11/8), Logistical (9/4), Roost (5/2), Kingsley Pride (12/1)

SAXON KING is going the right way and might not have to improve on his recent second in a Lingfield novice to go one better. Roost is from a family that his connections have already enjoyed success with and he looks the main danger first time out.
