1/25
Wootton Bassett colt who showed significant promise in 2 outings over 7f on the Rowley course in the spring, winning on debut before finishing second in a listed race (both good ground). Impossible to oppose back down markedly in grade.

Well bred but didn't set the world alight in bumpers/over hurdles for Dylan Cunha and showed nothing making a belated debut in this sphere for new yard at Leicester 8 days ago. One for low-grade handicaps moving forward.

18/1
Hooded for debut and only minor promise when fifth in a Lingfield maiden (7.6f, heavy) in June. Yet, faced with contrasting conditions she was much improved when fourth of 12 in an all-weather novice at that track 31 days ago. Handicaps promise to be more her bag after this.

16/1
5,000 gns 3-y-o, Kingman filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to very smart 1m-1¼m winner Prague out of useful 2-y-o 6f winner Princess Noor. Makes appeal on paper so worth a precautionary market check on debut for positive vibes.

Verdict

CERRO BLANCO sets a lofty standard on what he achieved in 2 starts on the Rowley Mile course here in the spring and is impossible to oppose back in much calmer waters.
