1/9

Well backed and looked a good prospect when winning 10-runner maiden at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft) on debut 37 days ago, slowly away and hung badly left. Will take all the beating under a penalty.

7/1

Sent off 5/4 but too green to show full worth when fifth of 7 in novice event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 58 days ago. Open to lots of progress.

Per Contra (1/9), Duely Spiced (7/2), Chiefman (7/1), Surfer Dude (20/1), Tomorrow Day (40/1)

PER CONTRA did quite a bit wrong on debut at Chepstow last month but his ability shone through as he scored readily and he's strongly fancied to defy a penalty. Chiefman failed to deliver on his opening run but will surely know more this time.
