2/7
70,000 gns yearling, Cracksman colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 9.5f Move Swiftly. 18/1, won 15-runner novice at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on debut, always holding on. Off 11 months and gelded. Obvious claims despite absence.

11/4
Hails from a smart family and he made a bright start to his career when fifth of 12 in maiden at Yarmouth (1m) in May, running green and making steady headway to be nearest at the finish. Went backwards at Pontefract 5 months on but that was on soft ground. Hood on 1st time and worth another chance.

Forecasts

Sacred Fire (2/7), Influential (11/4), Raja Charger (125/1)

Verdict

The form of SACRED FIRE's debut win at Newmarket last autumn has worked out very well and he has been found an excellent opportunity on his belated return. Influential is worth another chance to confirm debut promise but is up against a useful prospect.
