Left debut form well behind and would have won but for residual greenness when third in 7-runner novice at Salisbury (6f) last summer. Ran to a similar level when just failing at Newbury next time and remains open to improvement after a break with step to 7f likely to suit.

Showed promise when second on debut at Chelmsford but proved a major let-down in a similar event there last time, not going about things in a pleasing manner. Hard to warm to after that.

Forecasts

Comic Hero (1/2), Portman Blue (9/2), Variety Act (13/2), Espanita (10/1), Nefyn Queen (25/1), Spangle Moon (25/1), Midnight Media (33/1), Thimble (40/1), Cracking Anna (66/1), Hurricane Ann (80/1), Pink Diamond Girl (80/1), Ivat Ghia (80/1)

Verdict

COMIC HERO showed plenty on 2 of his 3 starts at 2 yrs and, with the step up to 7f an avenue to further improvement, is taken to open his account. Espanita is a noteworthy newcomer being out of a mare who won numerous Group events and strong market support would put her firmly in the reckoning. Spangle Moon is another debutante to note.
