Down the field in varied events on the Flat for James Owen, looking no easy ride (pulls hard). Has joined another quality yard ahead of his hurdling debut but still looks risky.

7/1

Mostly disappointing on the Flat and didn't offer much encouragement when a remote third of 8 (Rum Diamond second) on his C&D hurdling debut 25 days ago.

25/1

St Mark's Basilica gelding. Half-brother to 6 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Overpriced Mixer. Dam maiden on Flat (stayed 13f). Market should offer some clues.

Form:

5/2

6,500 gns 3-y-o, Sottsass gelding. Brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Cormoran. Wears a tongue strap and warrants respect on debut for good yard, particularly if the market vibes are strong.

20/1

Fair maiden on the Flat (best effort at 12.5f) but it's a little concerning he was sold out of Joseph Patrick O'Brien's yard for only 2,000 gns.

4/5

A modest maiden on the Flat for James Owen but showed aptitude for this discipline fitted with a tongue strap on the back of a breathing operation when second of 8 in a C&D juvenile 25 days ago, albeit not always fluent. Can put his experience to good use.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Rum Diamond (4/5), Ollierob (5/2), Houndswood Willow (7/1), Causing Problems (14/1), Royal Sapphire (20/1), Janteloven (25/1)

OLLIEROB is in good hands and, with the standard set not at all high, he earns the tentative vote to make a successful debut, with the market likely to offer further clues. Rum Diamond can put his experience to use and is feared most.
