Fast Company colt who confirmed debut promise when winning 4-runner maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) 25 days ago, clearly still green but decisively on top at the line. More needed here but that's entirely possible.

Forecasts

Craven (13/8), Cobalt Blue (3/1), Impulsive Reaction (11/2), Sudden Ambush (15/2), Cynical (17/2), Shaquille (20/1), The Muffin Man (22/1), Megatron (25/1), Anjo Bonita (50/1), Spirit Of Applause (66/1), Cori Glory (66/1), Mister Sox (80/1), Star Of Midnight (80/1)

CRAVEN sets a clear standard having finished second in a couple of similar events here and at Thirsk so appeals as the most likely winner with improvement on the cards over this longer trip. Impulsive Reaction still looked green when confirming debut promise at Musselburgh so is feared, while Sudden Ambush and Colbalt Blue are a couple of newcomers to note.
