13/8

Cost plenty as a Breeze-Up purchase and promising third of 11 in maiden at Pontefract (6f, good, 5/2) on debut. Disappointed on AW next time but worth another chance.

Installation^v1³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| BF

15/8

Cost plenty and made promising start when third in a 6f York maiden in June, not knocked about once winning chance had gone. Run best excused (upset in stalls) at Thirsk 9 weeks later and remains with potential. Visor on for 1st time.

Forecasts

Colnago (13/8), Installation (15/8), Queenie Rooney (10/3), Concert Boy (12/1), Erazmus (18/1), Smooth Red (80/1)

INSTALLATION had excuses at Thirsk last time (got upset in stall) so is worth another chance to confirm York debut promise, a performance which is backed up by the timefigure. Colnago has a similar profile to the selection so is feared, while market support for newcomer Concert Boy would look significant.
