9/4
Promising fourth at York on debut and better form when second of 9 in novice at this course (7.1f) 27 days ago. Again didn't fully see race out when fifth here (6f) last time. Tongue strap goes on now asked to tackle further.

125/1
Very green when last of 10 in novice at this course (6f) on debut 11 days ago, very slowly away. Significantly up in trip. Yard's horses often come on for the run but difficult to see her faring much better here.

Forecasts

Alba Gu Brath (4/9), Viking Glory (9/4), Five Cay (14/1), Red House (100/1), Freezing Havana (125/1)

Verdict

This looks a good opportunity for the well-bred ALBA GU BRATH to build on his pair of runner-up efforts and get off the mark. Five Cay and Viking Glory, both of whom are stepping up from sprint trips, can fight it out for second.

  1. Alba Gu Brath4/9
  2. Five Cay14/1
  3. Viking Glory9/4
