Still in need of experience when seventh of 9 in minor event at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 150/1) 13 days ago, again slowly away. Looks to be up against it.

Forecasts

Bombay Bazaar (11/8), Politico (9/2), Cuban Secret (6/1), Crack The Kode (15/2), Northern Prince (8/1), Sheriff's Call (11/1), Project Geofin (14/1), Master Eli (25/1), Clerys Clock (33/1), Just Like Tonto (100/1), Whatwouldiknow (125/1)

BOMBAY BAZAAR shaped very well amidst greenness when third at Thirsk on debut, beaten only by a pair with prior experience, so he looks the one to beat with that first run behind him. Newcomers could pose the biggest threat to the selection, with Politico one to note along with Crack The Kode.
