Managing Director²²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-5| J: Danny McMenamin| T: G R Oldroyd| OR: 73| D

6/1

A fair 5f scorer for Bryan Smart at 2 yrs. Gelded/off 21 months before posting an encouraging fifth of 8 for his new stable in handicap at Beverley (5f) 22 days ago. Not out of things if building on that effort and connections took this last year.

Forecasts

Lethal Nymph (3/1), Sports Coach (9/2), Mon Na Slieve (11/2), Managing Director (6/1), Emerald Harmony (6/1), Kodiac Thriller (17/2), Ventura Express (14/1), King's Call (16/1), Bayraat (16/1), Roberto Caro (20/1), Cayman Tai (28/1), Dream Deal (28/1), Harb (33/1), Almaty Star (33/1), Cameley Days (40/1), Tees Aggregates (40/1), Vince L'Amour (66/1)

This is wide open but Paul Midgley's LETHAL NYMPH looks primed for a bold showing on the back of an eye-catching Pontefract second and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark. Kodiac Thriller heads the list of dangers after a resurgent Ripon fourth, although Dream Deal, Sports Coach and Managing Director can all play a prominent role too.
