Showed improvement when fourth of 6 in maiden at Yarmouth (50/1) 36 days ago, making headway 2f out. Drop in trip on a sharp track doesn't look an obvious move.

Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when fifth of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (AW). Strong in the betting when second of 7 in novice at Redcar (6/5) 48 days ago, travelling fluently but no extra late on. Likely to progress further for his excellent yard.

Placed on 3 of 4 outings, third of 8 in a maiden at Yarmouth 23 days ago, again running well but found a couple improving past him. That is the best form on offer.

Forecasts

Schrodinger's Cat (1/1), Jungle Monarch (9/4), Mission Classified (11/2), Ecclefechan (13/2), Tanaka (40/1), Breeze Star (66/1)

Verdict

SCHRODINGER'S CAT isn't obviously capable of better but he sets the standard on his placed efforts and a repeat of that level may well suffice. Jungle Monarch moved sweetly when runner-up at Redcar and likely to progress further, is the obvious danger.
