Promising type. Won 9-runner maiden at Kempton (8f, 2/1) 21 days ago, responding well. Up in trip. Can do better still so he's well in the mix.

Kingman colt who made a highly promising debut when landing the odds in 10-runner minor event at this C&D (AW) 36 days ago with plenty in hand. Has plenty of scope to improve. The one to beat.

Forecasts

Nazymbek (1/2), First Sight (11/8), Blondelle (28/1), Great Bedwyn (66/1), Al Khawaneej Storm (125/1), Soothing Blaze (150/1), Dark Gold (250/1)

NAZYMBEK created an excellent impression when landing the odds on his debut over C&D so Roger Varian's Kingman colt is impossible to oppose under his 7 lb penalty. Kempton scorer First Sight appeals as the one to chase him home, although Ralph Beckett's newcomer Blondelle is worth a market check.
