Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Brendan Powell| T: D Killahena & G McPherson

40/1

12/1

Dartmouth gelding who showed ability amidst inexperience when fifth of 10 at Warwick (16f, good to soft) 6 months ago, not ideally placed. Step forward needed to get involved, however.

Forecasts

Jackpot Des Bordes (4/5), French Symphony (9/4), Doeshefitthebill (4/1), Timeforarum (7/1), The Grey Man (12/1), Fixed Wing (40/1), Darcy's Glance (80/1), Braunton Burrows (125/1), Red Ripple (125/1)

The market will no doubt prove informative but JACKPOT DES BORDES is selected to make a winning start for a yard going great guns at present. Doeshefitthebill also has plenty to recommend him on paper, so Jonjo O'Neill's charge is put forward as the main danger, with French Symphony and Timeforarum taken to fight out third.
