10/1

Couldn't justify support but offered something to work on nevertheless in Hereford bumper 6 weeks ago, not unduly punished. Ought to be capable of better.

1/2

€46,000 buy from points and he showed plenty when third of 10 in bumper at Newton Abbot in October, his inexperience under pressure proving his undoing. The second won next time and he's open to improvement now fitted with tongue tie.

Gentleman Toboot (1/2), Edward Sexton (11/10), Chivalrous George (13/2), Graeme The Grey (15/2), Desert Guest (10/1), By George (12/1), Kevano Breeze (28/1)

EDWARD SEXTON made a very promising start behind a stablemate at Sandown 7 weeks ago and is the one to beat. Gentleman Toboot likewise shaped well first time up at Newton Abbot, form that is working out nicely, and he's feared most. Chivalrous George might be the pick of the 3 newcomers.
