12/1

Improved from debut when winning 5f Thirsk maiden 11 days ago, making all. Carries a penalty so more needed to follow up but the rest may have to go some if he can bag the lead here.

11/2

Foaled February 2. €100,000 foal, €260,000 yearling, Mehmas colt. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to useful winner High Bridge out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) Ameerat. Yard having a fine run again with 2-y-os and he makes plenty of appeal on paper.

14/1

Land Force half-brother to 3 winners, including 5f winner Le Beau Garcon and 6f winner Act of Violence. Promising start splitting a couple of subsequent winners (Under The Radar fourth) when beaten just a length in 5f Pontefract novice on debut last month. This is much tougher but he'll improve.

Forecasts

Frio (5/4), Utmost Respect (11/4), Ballistic Missile (11/2), Roy Lane (15/2), Under The Radar (12/1), Bravo Hotel (14/1)

A disappointing turnout for this valuable novice but it features a trio of very interesting newcomers in BALLISTIC MISSILE, Utmost Respect and Roy Lane. Richard Hannon's charge is the selection before market clues. Frio made a promising start at Musselburgh and might not be far away if improving.
