Stepped up on debut form, on first start for new yard, when third of 10 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good) 23 days ago. Claims if building on that.

Forecasts

Apotheosis (5/6), Granger Bay (7/4), Upscale (9/4), Faro Di Notte (9/1), Argentali (9/1), Ocean Odyssey (40/1), Global Resolve (50/1), Gold Minx (80/1), Valkyrja (125/1)

APOTHEOSIS was really keen at Haydock last time and did well to score in the circumstances. The reapplication of headgear looks a good move and he can follow up. Upscale and Faro Di Notte look the likeliest dangers.
