Twice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 13 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft, 200/1) when last seen 6 months ago. Up in trip on debut for new yard and it's best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Fast Track Harry (5/6), Zubaru (15/8), Twilight Ice (13/2), Storm Passage (15/2), Implied Volatility (16/1), Glamorous Angela (16/1), Minshaar (33/1), Brave Bob (33/1), Alfa Sea Breeze (50/1), Chief Of State (50/1), Canaria Sun (80/1), Big Apple Jack (100/1)

FAST TRACK HARRY beat a couple of next-time-out winners when scoring on debut at Newbury in September and the testing conditions were probably against him over this C&D the following month. He has since undergone a wind op and should prove a tough nut to crack. Zubaru is marginally preferred to likely-looking newcomer Twilight Ice for forecast purposes.
