Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey

Offered little when last of 8 in minor event at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind.

Foaled March 5. 20,000 gns yearling, Too Darn Hot colt. Dam, 1¼m-1½m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Hatta Fort and useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Blue Bayou. Interesting newcomer.

10/1

Time Test colt who showed promise when third of 8 in 7f maiden at Leicester (good, 33/1) on debut 18 days ago. That is the best form on offer, and he has obvious claims.

Form: 3

Sent off 150/1 and showed only greenness when seventh of 8 in minor event at Salisbury (5f, good) on debut 39 days ago. Significantly up in trip.

Forecasts

Bracklesham Bay (9/4), Sir Peter Fossick (7/2), Abstract Art (4/1), Hot Cash (9/2), Dark Thunderstorm (17/2), Jack Andrea (10/1), Liricist (100/1)

SIR PETER FOSSICK makes plenty of appeal on paper being a half-brother to several winners, including smart 2-y-o 6f winner Great White Eagle, so he's fancied to get off to a winning start. Jack Andrea has the best piece of form on offer, with Hot Cash another newcomer to note.
