Promising third of 4 on 6f Pontefract debut in August. Disappointing eighth when sent off 2/1 favourite over 6f here 3 months later but might be worth another chance now stepping up to 7f.

Forecasts

Stepanov (11/4), Great Success (10/3), Kohana Nation (18/5), Choir Boy (11/2), Highland Shah (6/1), Thestral (8/1), Raven's View (33/1)

Verdict

GREAT SUCCESS is given another chance to confirm his debut promise. Kohana Nation showed promise in what was likely a stronger race at Kempton on debut and may provide the main threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Ed Bethell newcomer Stepanov.

  1. Great Success10/3
  2. Kohana Nation18/5
  3. Stepanov11/4
