Twice-raced colt who was much improved from debut when fourth of 9 in novice (50/1) at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) 22 days ago. More needed to take a hand here, however.

Forecasts

Sole Ambition (5/2), Twelve Bars (7/2), Howzatt (4/1), Senor Blues (5/1), Quorum (7/1), Maxton (15/2), Sterling Cooper (25/1), State Emperor (28/1), Blue Victory (80/1), Minsmere (80/1), Arcimedes (100/1), Jeepers Fortune (125/1), Clink (125/1), Soho (150/1), Dancingonthestars (250/1)

Verdict

SOLE AMBITION had clearly learnt plenty from his debut and shaped well in a very valuable maiden at York last month. He looks the one to beat. Likely improvers Senor Blues and Howzatt may emerge as the main threats, with State Emperor and Quorum the pick of the newcomers.
