25/1, bit below form sixth of 18 in handicap at York (6f, soft), nearest finish. Off 104 days ahead of this debut for new yard and he looks vulnerable.

Forecasts

Whats In The Bag (6/4), Muscika (9/2), Jax Edge (9/2), One More Wave (5/1), Havana Sky (13/2), Swift Storm (13/2), Minnesota Lad (15/2), Happy Tears (15/2), Local Bay (28/1)

HAVANA SKY is on a roll and a 2 lb nudge for last weekend's successs at Southwell probably underestimates him. The Ed Dunlop-trained 3-y-o may well have more to offer and he is preferred to the consistent Whats In The Bag and Muscika.
