Twice-raced colt. Went backwards from debut when last of 7 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 6/1) 19 days ago, not ideally placed. Each-way claims if putting that effort behind him.

Forecasts

Soapys Sister (15/8), Gustav Graves (7/2), Ava Go Joe (9/2), Maple Jack (6/1), Zig Zag Wanderer (12/1), Rory (14/1), Sugar Baby (18/1), Glen Lomond (25/1), Storm Master (100/1)

It's a little bit of a concern that SOAPYS SISTER wasn't seen again last year after showing ability at Hamilton on debut in June. Nevertheless, this looks a good opportunity for her and she's taken to score on return with improvement a distinct possibility. Ava Go Joe heads the dangers on his return having left his debut effort well behind when last seen in October, ahead of Maple Jack.
