6/1

Professional in making a winning bumper debut on sole start for Sandy Thomson at Kelso in January 2020. Changed hands for £80,000 thereafter and has shown a bit in 2 runs over hurdles. Might be one for handicaps but solid place claims in this.

Forecasts

Mount Tempest (5/6), Clonakilty (6/4), Manorbank (6/1), Try The Money (22/1), Diamond Twin (33/1), Good Friday Fairy (66/1), Abbeyhill (100/1), Dolly Bird (200/1), Twp Stori (200/1)

Hard to see past the promising MOUNT TEMPEST who won a Warwick handicap easily 3 weeks ago and has been found a good opening back in a novice. Clonakilty is the obvious danger dropped in trip.
