11/4

Well-related colt who came well clear with another good prospect when opening his account at Yarmouth (8f) this time last year. Couldn't follow up at Chelmsford the following month but remains low mileage and must be taken seriously on return having been gelded.

Forecasts

Assessment (11/4), Ring Of Gold (9/2), Two Tempting (11/2), Tahitian Prince (6/1), Hoornblower (7/1), Double Time (8/1), Discretion (8/1), Stockpyle (9/1), Cabinet Of Clowns (18/1), Sagano (33/1), Dandy Maestro (50/1)

ASSESSMENT is in good hands and has few miles on the clock. A winner first time up last season, he is taken to repeat the feat this term having been gelded. Ring of Gold and Double Time rate the principal dangers.
