8/1

10/3, last of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) on debut 27 days ago. Up in trip. The fact he was prominent in the betting at Hamilton suggests he's thought capable of better.

Forecasts

Moyet (15/8), How's The Guvnor (4/1), Merrimack (4/1), Rich Glory (8/1), Secret Beach (9/1), Foreign Exchange (9/1), Alfred (20/1), Sovereign Nation (22/1)

MOYET is the percentage call on the back of his promising debut third at Goodwood, although a strong market move for newcomers Foreign Exchange, whose stable has some smart juveniles to compare him to, or Merrimack would put a slightly different slant on things.
