Musical Act⁸⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| C

4/5

Promising individual. Well held on turf debut but different proposition switched to AW when seeing off 10 rivals in a 7f course novice in August. Potential for better back from a break and the one to beat.

Forecasts

Musical Act (4/5), Tawajjah (4/1), Green Keeper (13/2), Lyric (11/1), Sir Les Patterson (11/1), Portsmouth (14/1), Candle Wax (18/1), Amsterdam (28/1), Godsend (33/1), Livinthelife (66/1), Jean Ribault (150/1), Midnight Rumble (200/1), Aye Fred (200/1)

MUSICAL ACT has to be the call on the back of his tidy win here at the end of the summer. The threat will probably come from newcomers, with Tawajjah, Candle Wax, Green Keeper and Lyric all making paper appeal.
