9/4

Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 11/2) 23 days ago, impressing with how he made his move into contention. There are races in him for sure.

Forecasts

Dickens (9/4), Arcadian Nights (16/5), Distinction (7/2), Zhang Fei (5/1), Matamua (13/2), Alto Volante (13/2), Aussie Rascal (12/1), Ron O (25/1), Muhalhel (28/1), Smooth Spirit (50/1), Ballycommon (66/1)

DICKENS looked a sure-fire future winner when second at Yarmouth 3 weeks ago and is just preferred to the returning Arcadian Nights, who seeks a hat-trick and is a useful prospect himself. Distinction is also considered.
