Superbly-bred Frankel colt who shaped with promise amidst greenness in 6f event here (5/1) on debut 3 weeks ago, travelling well and weakening only inside final 1f. More to come up in trip.

Forecasts

Triple Time (6/4), Nuance (10/3), La Pulga (4/1), Modern Games (5/1), Desert Angel (12/1), Lelabad (16/1), Mr Mccann (22/1), Fergie Time (28/1), Vaynor (50/1), From Little Acorns (100/1), On The River (400/1)

This has the makings of a hot novice and LA PULGA, who created a good impression when winning on debut at Sandown over this trip, is taken to remain unbeaten. Modern Games and Lelabad are intriguing newcomers, while Nuance and Triple Time both made really encouraging starts and should have plenty more to offer over this extra furlong.
