Heeraat gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner Jeans Maite. Dam ran twice. Couldn't be ruled out in such a weak looking contest given half-sister likes this venue.

Forecasts

Bridgetown (4/7), Bernard Spierpoint (9/2), Hiya Maite (5/1), Gossamer Silk (11/1), Swiss Sancerre (18/1), It's Wonderful (28/1), Paymaster (66/1), La Chica Lobo (80/1), Diamond Memories (150/1)

This will take very little winning. BRIDGETOWN has been competitive in similar events to this and he has been found a good opportunity to shed his maiden tag. Swiss Sancerre showed ability on debut at Wolverhampton last time and she may take a step forward from that to get involved. Bernard Spierpoint and the newcomer Hiya Maite shouldn't be discounted either.
