Looked in need of the experience when eighth of 11 in novice at this C&D (good, 20/1) on debut 9 days ago. Can do better but the market should prove an accurate guide.

15/8
Blue Point colt took a big step forward from his debut when fourth of 8 in novice at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 41 days ago. That form has been franked so he holds leading claims.

Forecasts

Flying Comet (8/11), This Guy (15/8), Shams (8/1), The Glory Code (28/1), Demetrius (40/1)

Verdict

Clive Cox's THIS GUY looks the way to go on the back of his improved Haydock fourth (form working out well) unless Richard Hannon's Blue Point newcomer Shams proves to be above average. Flying Comet can also have a say if, as expected, building on his debut Nottingham third.

  1. This Guy15/8
  2. Shams8/1
  3. Flying Comet8/11
