2/7
0-7 on the Flat but showed pretty useful form. Two hurdle wins in the autumn show he can get the job done and he sets a clear standard back on the level.

Timeform
200,000 gns Nathaniel colt who produced a promising first effort when 4 lengths fourth of 13 in 9.5f Wolverhampton maiden last April but not seen again until only seventh at Newcastle 8 months later. Still early days but will need improvement to seriously trouble Liam Swagger.

28/1
Cost €90,000 as a yearling but changed hands for only 7,500 gns last year. Has some useful sorts in his pedigree but a watching brief is still advised.

Forecasts

Liam Swagger (2/7), Roland Garros (4/1), Another Lifetime (15/2), Croeso Talog (20/1), Si Solus (28/1), Cascade Hall (40/1), Opera King (150/1), Ruby Kendyl (150/1)

Verdict

Dual juvenile hurdle winner LIAM SWAGGER also ran to a pretty good level on the Flat last year and should prove very hard to beat. Roland Garros is preferred to Another Lifetime for the forecast spot.
