13/2

Showed a bit in Taunton bumper a fortnight ago. Bred for a lot further but this won't take much winning and he's got to be respected under Sean Bowen.

Forecasts

Call Me Legend (9/4), Border Gem (3/1), Lord Virginia (3/1), Josh Central (13/2), Winters Hill (17/2), See You Again (12/1), Ben Lomond (16/1), Jeepster (28/1)

Not a strong-looking bumper on paper and WINTERS HILL is chanced over Call Me Legend before market clues. Border Gem and Josh Central have both shown a bit in this sphere and could figure prominently.
