1/3

Lots of promise amidst greenness when length third of 12 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on debut 55 days ago, keeping on from rear. Sure to improve and hard to beat.

60,000 gns Lope De Vega gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 6f Sandridge Lad. Trainer no stranger to first-time-out success and interesting to see what the market makes of him.

Forecasts

Three Platoon (1/3), Pillar Of Hope (13/2), Ensured (13/2), Vincent Vega (12/1), Blueskyandsunshine (100/1)

THREE PLATOON shaped very well on his Wolverhampton debut in December and this looks an ideal opportunity for him to get off the mark unless the market speaks strongly in the favour of newcomers Ensured and/or Vincent Vega.
