10/3

Left debut behind when easily making all in C&D maiden last term, then fared as well as could be expected when fourth in Mill Reef. Below form final outing and mark demands improvement on return.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: David Egan| T: R Hughes| OR: 82| D

Fantasy Master¹⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Appleby| OR: 81| BF| D

Dual winner at Nottingham last term but final outing over this trip left the impression that he could do with a bit further this term. Likely to be tuned up after 177 days off.

Forecasts

Nelson Gay (9/4), First Edition (10/3), Charlie Fellowes (4/1), Fantasy Master (9/2), Nomadic Empire (5/1)

NELSON GAY arrives in search of a hat-trick and his rivals don't look all that well-treated, so he's fancied to continue on an upward curve and open his account on turf. Fantasy Master could pose a threat if he gets going soon enough, while First Edition may do better still this season.
