3/1

5/2 and visored for 1st time, much improved when winning 7-runner nursery at Southwell (8.1f) 6 months ago (final start for Sir Michael Stoute). Gelded after. Good 2-y-o form, from an excellent family and will go on progressing for new yard that's been very much amongst the winners in recent weeks.

7/1

Ran to a fair level at 2 yrs with his form reading well, third of 8 in novice at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy, 7/2) when last seen 6 months ago. Well bred and could have more to offer now handicapping.

Forecasts

Wiltshire Lad (3/1), Thunder Wonder (4/1), Invited (9/2), Hot Dancer (7/1), Zowal (7/1), We Dare To Dream (17/2), Castle Stuart (9/1), Our Mighty Mo (16/1)

There could be plenty more to come from WILTSHIRE LAD this year for the in-form Andrew Balding and he can make a successful return. This looks a useful contest though and good cases can also be made for the hat-trick seeking Invited and We Dare To Dream to name but two.
