Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: A Kirby| T: J & T Gosden| D

4/9

Considerately handled when scoring on 7f Newbury month debut, staying on well under a hands-and-heels ride to lead on the line. Smart colt in the making and can make light of a penalty.

Forecasts

Guru (4/9), Aerion Power (9/2), Desert Wisdom (6/1), Zion Star (9/1), Muay Thai (12/1), Qaasid (14/1), Round Six (16/1), Full Marks (20/1), Wurlitzer (22/1), Rhebus Road (25/1), Lightening Shore (40/1), Ak Fortyseven (125/1), Summer's Knight (150/1)

Some interesting newcomers but they'll likely need to be good to trouble GURU who looked a smart prospect when leading late on under a hands-and-heels ride on his Newbury debut. Aerion Power and Qaasid make the most paper appeal of the debutants but the betting will provide more clues.
