Foaled April 8. 44,000 gns Showcasing colt. Closely related to 1½m winner Gliding Bay and 6f-7.4f winner Sky Hawk and half-brother to winner up to 9.5f Noble Lineage. Worth a second look in the betting.

Forecasts

Return Of The Gods (11/8), High Approval (15/8), Noble Vow (9/4), Ocean Of Storms (20/1), Because We Can (25/1), Regal And Real (50/1), Lady V (66/1), Chinchin (80/1), Electrocution (125/1)

Verdict

NOBLE VOW has made steady progress so far and might be able to make it fourth time lucky. There was plenty to like about the C&D debut performance of Return of The Gods and he might pose the biggest threat given that High Approval seems to be going the wrong way.

  1. Noble Vow9/4
  2. Return Of The Gods11/8
  3. High Approval15/8
