7/4

Promising type. 11/1, won 9-runner novice at Southwell (7f) in September. Capable of better again and every chance he can defy the penalty in this line-up.

10/3

28/1, seventh of 11 in novice at Doncaster (7f, soft) on debut 9 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot in a short time.

Forecasts

Fast Society (7/4), Ever Driven (5/2), Jazz Scene (10/3), Sanat (9/2), King's Scholar (6/1), Synthesize (10/1), Questionable (12/1), Phoenix Moon (22/1), Spartan Times (66/1)

This doesn't look a strong novice so Southwell-winner FAST SOCIETY might be up to giving the weight away. Ever Driven wasn't disgraced in the valuable Convivial maiden at last year's York Ebor meeting and is second choice ahead of Sanat, who hinted at ability on his debut in the Wood Ditton at the Newmarket Craven meeting.
