9/1

Showed improved form to make wining handicap debut at Kempton (1m) last June. but proved to be a disappointment when well held at Newbury (1m) later that month. It does remain early days however, so interesting what the market makes of him on return.

Forecasts

Kodebreaker (5/2), Galton (7/2), Tom Tulliver (4/1), Urban Road (5/1), Global Tycoon (9/1), Nivelle's Magic (14/1), Doomsday (25/1), Our Boy Sam (28/1), Neverbatsaneyelid (66/1)

A number in with a shout including KODEBREAKER who has been acquitting himself with credit from this sort of mark in recent months and this is arguably a shade less demanding than the competition he has faced of late. Tom Tulliver comes here in good order and is feared, along with Urban Road and the returning Doomsday.
