4/5

Promising Lope de Vega colt still looked green but landed the odds in 4-runner novice at Salisbury (7f, firm) 26 days ago. Has more to offer so he's a player despite conceding weight all round here.

Forecasts

El Matador (4/5), Magnetite (11/5), Sea Poetry (4/1), Reds And Wolves (14/1), Lord Montague (18/1), Zouligan (33/1), Blazing Bobcat (66/1), Llangynin Lass (150/1), Maury (250/1), Lady Monroe (250/1)

Ralph Beckett's EL MATADOR overcame inexperience to make a winning return at Salisbury last month and can improve sufficiently to defy a 7 lb penalty and follow up here. Hugo Palmer's Reds And Wolves shaped well when fifth at Wolverhampton last time and heads the list of dangers with Lord Montague, Sea Poetry and Magnetite all in the picture too.
