Promising sort. Improved when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 7/4) 34 days ago, going through the race with plenty of spark down in trip. Raised 6 lb for that and tries turf now. Bred to be useful and likely to progress further.

Forecasts

Distant Rumble (9/2), Kamekist (9/2), Fleetwater (11/2), Handle With Care (11/2), Rare Change (13/2), Jr Climbs (8/1), Ziggy's Ariel (11/1), McIntosh (12/1), Initial Blue (12/1), Far Above The Law (20/1), Skellig Isle (22/1), Line Of Force (33/1), Amerjeet (50/1)

It could be worth chancing FLEETWATER, who made a good comeback at Kempton when well backed and who looked right at home on this track in 2 decent novices last summer. The 4 last-time-out winners are all dangerous, Distant Rumble and Kamekist feared most over the returning Initial Blue, who has been gelded since last seen in November when taking a Chelmsford novice, and Ziggy's Ariel.
