2/1

Won 8-runner maiden at this course (5.7f, good to soft, 11/4) on debut 18 days ago, well on top finish. Should have more to offer and has to be a threat under a penalty.

10/11

Promising sort. 15/2, won 8-runner novice event at Newcastle (5f) on debut (strong form) in May 2021. Off the track since but in top hands and very much the one to beat if all is well.

Forecasts

Royal Aclaim (10/11), Spangled Mac (2/1), Frisky (17/2), Pepsi Cat (17/2), Whats In The Bag (12/1), Sir Philip (25/1), Stella's Charlie (125/1), Threeways Bruce (150/1)

ROYAL ACLAIM had the smart Perfect Power behind when making a winning debut at Newcastle a year ago. She's been off the track since but is in good hands and there has to be a good chance she will outclass these. Fellow-debut winner Spangled Mac is an obvious threat, with the speedy Pepsi Cat also interesting over 5f.
