Made all in 7f Newmarket novice on debut before excellent third in Solario Stakes at Sandown. Well below par though in Doncaster listed event last time so he needs to bounce back now dropped in trip.

Forecasts

Dark Shift (1/1), Apollo One (9/4), Whenthedealinsdone (3/1), Rivers Lad (40/1)

DARK SHIFT really caught the eye when making a winning debut at Ascot and, with the form of that race working out well, he's confidently expected to follow up here. Whenthedealinsdone has much better days ahead of him too judged on his stylish Newbury success so rates the chief threat ahead of Apollo One who needs to shrug off an underwhelming effort at Doncaster.
