Promising sort. 3/1, career best when winning 11-runner nursery at Lingfield (7f, AW) 9 days ago, easily. Makes tapeta debut and revised mark looks to underestimate him.

Forecasts

Diddy Man (5/2), Tropical Air (11/4), Irrelevant (4/1), Kandy House (6/1), Bulldog Drummond (7/1), Insignia (14/1), Justahunch (28/1), Polly The Rocket (40/1), Havana Touch (66/1), Fast Love (125/1)

TROPICAL AIR blew apart a nursery at Lingfield last week and on that evidence his revised mark may not be enough to prevent a quick follow up. The return to the AW and 7f will suit Irrelevant and he's a big danger, with Diddy Man completing the shortlist.
