Fairly useful form. Shaped well in a 7f Newbury handicap prior to easily making all in a 6f Redcar novice last month. Unexposed as a sprinter. Player.

11/8
Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 7/2) 45 days ago, coming from last to first in the style of one who could have more to offer as an AW sprinter.

18/1
First run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago, fading after pulling too hard in front. The return to drop back to sprinting looks the right move.

Forecasts

Nemov (11/8), American Bay (9/4), Jimmy Speaking (13/2), Crimson Sand (16/1), Invincible Speed (16/1), Balon D'or (18/1), Tsunami Spirit (18/1), Spring Bloom (28/1), Bowman (33/1)

Verdict

There was a lot to like about the way NEMOV went about things back sprinting at Kempton last time and he's selected to make light of a rise in the weights, perhaps at the main expense of fellow 3-y-os American Bay and Balon d'Or.

  1. Nemov11/8
  2. American Bay9/4
  3. Balon D'or18/1
