17/2

Not seen to best effect when down the field sole outing in bumpers and shaped well sent hurdling when third in 7-runner novice at Bangor. However, went backwards at Uttoxeter next time so needs to bounce back.

Bought for £56,000 after finishing third in an Irish point last spring. Failed to meet expectations in bumper at Warwick in May when shaping as if amiss but clearly thought capable of better.

Forecasts

Whatyouwaitingfor (4/11), Diamond Ambition (7/2), City Of Diamonds (17/2), Hoeyfield Lad (25/1), Believe A Little (200/1)

WHATYOUWAITINGFOR looks the one to beat after his placed efforts here in recent weeks. Diamond Ambition is clearly better than what he could show on debut and is the obvious threat.
