6/1

Pulled clear with a next-time-out winner sole 2-y-o start. Hood left off and failed to meet expectations when fourth of 6 in novice event at Catterick (5f, soft, 13/8) 9 days ago (Obligatory second) May yet do better.

Forecasts

Circus Lion (8/11), Obligatory (4/1), Northerner (6/1), Twilight Diamond (6/1), Barnaby (15/2), Doralee (12/1)

OBLIGATORY cranked it up another notch when second at Catterick last week and that sets a pretty good standard. Northerner was behind the selection that day but that was her reappearance and she's entitled to finish closer this time, albeit on the same terms.
