5/4

Left debut run well behind when fourth of 8 in novice event (22/1) at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Sets the bar pretty high.

Forecasts

Victory Shout (5/4), Apiarist (2/1), Silent Move (7/2), Love Safari (9/1), Apache Angel (200/1)

VICTORY SHOUT left his debut form well behind when fourth in a fairly useful novice at Haydock last month and a repeat of that level may well suffice. Apiarist and Thirsk-winner Silent Move will ensure the selection doesn't have it all his own way.
