14/1 and hooded, shaped well when third (Captain Fox fifth) of 10 in maiden at Kempton (6f, 14/1) on debut 38 days ago, running on not knocked about. Will improve for a top stable with a good recent record in this race.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole

25/1

Fair form when placed in small fields over 7f at Haydock and Salisbury (both good to firm) this summer. Vulnerable for win purposes unless finding improvement for first-time cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Isaac Newton (8/13), Exclusive Code (9/2), Corinth (13/2), Lion Of Alba (17/2), Ghost Mode (10/1), Captain Fox (12/1), Evanesco (14/1), My Old Mate (20/1), Island Bear (25/1), Phantom Watch (40/1), Atlas Mountain (50/1), Aspect Island (80/1), Arbaawy (125/1), Receding (150/1)

ISAAC NEWTON made a very promising start to his career when only just failing to nab a more experienced stablemate at the Curragh a couple of weeks ago and will be tough to beat if making the anticipated improvement. Exclusive Code, Corinth and Ghost Mode are others open to progress on the back of encouraging debut efforts.
