Coulsty colt who has made a solid start to his career, improving a little on previous exploits when second of 7 in maiden (5/1) at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Longer trip now could unlock further progress and experience edge over most can count for plenty.

Forecasts

Sirius A (4/5), Kanishka (9/4), Halla Bil Zain (9/1), Karakula Dancer (12/1), Blue Nebulae (12/1), What's The Plan (25/1), Smoker Bellamy (33/1), Sporty Socks (80/1)

SIRIUS A is bred to be useful and produced a promising first effort when fourth in a big-field Newbury maiden (6f) on debut 4 weeks ago. Open to improvement, particularly at this longer trip, he can build on that and come out on top. Kanishka rates the likeliest threat on following his Ayr second. Blue Nebulae and Karakula Dancer are a couple of newcomers to note.
