5/1

€350,000 2-y-o, Sea The Moon colt. Much better effort 11 months apart when second of 12 in novice event at this C&D 55 days ago, admittedly having the run of things. May do better still.

Form: 5-2

Forecasts

High Order (2/9), Emaculate Soldier (5/1), Dancing Highlander (10/1), Sir Geoff Hurst (16/1), Mr Zippi (50/1), Renoir (100/1), Simply Red (150/1)

HIGH ORDER has bumped into some good prospects when placed in novices at Newcastle/Newmarket and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to open his account. Emaculate Soldier proved a different proposition to his debut 11 months on when second over C&D 8 weeks ago and is a clear next best.
