Promising second in maiden at Doncaster on debut. That form has worked out well and he had excuses on his next 2 starts. Capable of winning a maiden.

Forecasts

Duchess Of Immatin (7/4), War Gaming (5/2), Tumishi (3/1), Corbie Rock (6/1), Native Chief (16/1), Channel Islands (50/1)

TUMISHI sets a decent standard and can put his experience to good use up against a couple of interesting newcomers in Duchess of Immatin and Corbie Rock.
