Promising sort. Won 14-runner novice event (13/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut, running on. That was 20 months ago so clearly had share of issues but he's in excellent hands.

Forecasts

Game Set (1/4), Verona Star (5/1), Sparkling Spirit (15/2), Expert Bear (22/1), Poetic Jack (33/1), Hawajes (40/1), Socialist Agenda (80/1), Balmy Breese (125/1), Dusty Rug (125/1), Woody's Angel (150/1), King Elvis (200/1)

Verdict

GAME SET had a bit up his sleeve when seeing off a next-time-out winner on debut at Doncaster 3 weeks ago and he looks capable of defying a penalty. Verona Star has a 20-month absence to overcome but is in excellent hands, with Sparkling Spirit one to monitor in the betting for her new yard.
