Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Zak Wheatley| T: B Haslam| OR: 50

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 16/1) 31 days ago. Makes handicap debut and even this modest mark looks high.

Forecasts

Blazing Son (11/8), Elladora (6/1), Politics (15/2), Stallone (8/1), Highjacked (8/1), Somewhere Secret (17/2), Blackjack (12/1), Hurstwood (20/1), Agonyclite (33/1), Point Of Woods (80/1)

This looks trappy with HIGHJACKED just about the most persuasive option given he's fresh for this time of year and arrives on the back of a runner-up effort at Catterick last week. Blazing Son and Stallone are a couple of potential threats.
