15/2

Took a sizeable step forward equipped with a first-time tongue strap when narrowly seeing off 7 rivals in a handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) just under 8 weeks ago. 3 lb rise fair enough and big shout if able to build on that.

Forecasts

Monty Be Quick (7/2), Gone (7/2), Dream Pirate (4/1), Where's Freddy (15/2), Kalamunda (17/2), Dreaming Spires (17/2), Valtellina (14/1), Vinaka (16/1), Shaheen Saqaar (16/1), Hurricane Kiko (25/1), Glencalvie (28/1)

An open-looking contest which can go the way of WHERE'S FREDDY, who took a sizeable step forward equipped with a first-time tongue strap when getting off the mark at Newmarket in July and with this step up to 1m holding no fears, he can kick on now up and running. Gone is proving most consistent so Charlie Johnston's filly may emerge as the main danger, with Dreaming Spires and Valtellina also fancied to go well for Harry Eustace.
