Very good second of 7 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 10/1) 48 days ago, wandering about and caught close home. Up 5 lb for that. Still has a bit to learn and also needs to prove he's as good on turf. Hood back on.

Forecasts

Requiem (11/10), Captain Brett (11/4), Brave Emerald (11/2), Rommie The Miracle (17/2), Max The Tiger (16/1), Maywedance (18/1)

REQUIEM probably hasn't shown all he's capable of yet and can open his account stepped up further in trip here. Brave Emerald looks very much the type to do better in staying handicaps for Tim Easterby and is an interesting alternative.
