15/8

Modest gelding. C&D winner. Bit below form fifth of 9 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW, 2/1) 6 days ago, never nearer. Can make his presence felt if he breaks on terms.

Forecasts

Monsieur Fantaisie (15/8), Viewfromthestars (7/2), Admirable Lad (13/2), Bear To Dream (15/2), Lynwood Lad (15/2), Fantasy Navigator (8/1), Universal Grace (10/1), Carranita (50/1), Silveeanna (66/1), Moveonup (66/1), Overland (150/1)

ADMIRABLE LAD has been better in the past and had a bit to spare when scoring at Kempton recently, so he takes marginal preference over Viewfromthestars, who upped his game when second over C&D three weeks ago. Monsieur Fantaisie can also feature if he doesn't blow the start.
