Went close on 5f course debut last month. Suffered early interference when beaten at short odds at Beverley (5f again) since. Bang there on the debut effort now stepping up to 6f.

Forecasts

Farough (11/10), Ubetterseethis (16/5), Try Storm Cat (15/2), Solar Cooper (9/1), Lily Pearl (12/1), Big Fun (20/1), The Resdev Scholar (20/1), Lyrical Song (22/1), Liverpool Star (33/1), Our Boy Harry (125/1)

FAROUGH's Leicester debut form looks reasonable so he's taken to strike with 6f promising to suit. Ubetterseethis had an excuse when turned over at short odds at Beverley and looks sure to play a prominent role if back to the level of his near miss on his 5f course debut. Try Storm Cat and Lily Pearl rate interesting newcomers.
