11/10

Promising sort. Fifth of 7 in maiden (12/1) at Ascot (6f, good) on debut 19 days ago. More to come and this looks a lesser race than he contested first time out. Good claims.

Forecasts

Fire Flame (11/10), Force And Valour (9/2), Rogue Invader (5/1), Gold Star Hero (6/1), Gilet (7/1), Watch Blue Point (7/1), Spring (25/1), Launceston (25/1), Crest Of Esteem (33/1), Dandy G Boy (50/1), I Follow Rivers (125/1), Token Gesture (150/1)

FIRE FLAME made a promising start at Ascot and is open to improvement so this looks a good opportunity down in class. Rogue Invader also has more to come and could be the danger ahead of Gold Star Hero.
