Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Jamie SnowdenWS

2/1

Finished just ahead of Young Bull when promising second to a subsequent winner at Ffos Las in October. Was well backed that day and sets the standard fort a yard that is respected in these contests.

Form: 32-42

Lossiemouth⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: T Lacey

9/4

Ran out when supported on Huntingdon debut but made amends when again backed over 1m6f at Newcastle. Beat a subsequent winner that day though Flat bred so extra 3f a slight concern.

Forecasts

Thomas Macdonagh (2/1), Lossiemouth (9/4), Just Got To Get On (3/1), Taking Flight (9/2), Young Bull (6/1), Sidi Ismael (10/1), Ladronne (25/1)

THOMAS MACDONAGH is a rare runner for a yard that do well in bumpers and his Ffos Las second when last seen just gives him the nod. Lossiemouth may be next best while Just Got To Get On shaped with promise on debut and shouldn't be dismissed.
