Shown steady improvement since joining this yard, second of 4 in novice at Nottingham (13/8) 18 days ago, going down fighting by only a neck. Very much a player here on that evidence.

3/1

Showed early promise when second in a novice race but finished fifth of 10 in a handicap at Wolverhampton (14/1) 23 days ago, racing too freely without cover. Drop back to 5f could help. First run for new trainer.

Sands Of Mali colt who showed plenty to work on amidst clear inexperience when third of 4 in a novice race at Nottingham (5f) 18 days ago, running green and plugging on. Finished one place behind In The City on that occasion and big threat to that rival again with improvement on the cards.

Forecasts

Star Of Mali (15/8), In The City (2/1), Our Planet (3/1), Harry Rocket (15/2), Donald (20/1), Havana Miss (28/1), Kamberleigh (66/1)

STAR OF MALI's inexperience was evident when James Tate's colt finished third (a place behind re-opposing In The City) on his respective debut at Nottingham 18 days ago and, given he's entitled to have derived plenty from that initial effort, he could well be up to reversing those placings and making it second time lucky. Aforementioned In The City and Our Planet can emerge next best.
