J: Tom Eaves

T: Ivan Furtado

Displayed a dark side when virtually refusing to race at Southwell on his seasonal/stable debut (also first run after gelding and wind operations) but he left that behind when a major eyecatcher at Chelmsford five weeks ago, held up under restraint but making a notable move in the fourth furlong, only for those exertions to take their toll late on; should be capable of better and while there is a slight concern he might fluff the start again, he's an intriguing contender against exposed opposition.

Well held in three runs for Craig Lidster last year and he virtually refused to race on recent handicap/stable at Southwell (first run after wind/gelding operations); has plenty to prove on several counts and can only be watched at present.

2 yo Colt

OR:

Form & Verdict
Speedily bred colt who is a half-brother to two fairly useful winners; only fifth when favourite on C&D debut last month but he looked much more streetwise when a close third at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) two weeks ago; sets a clear standard on that front-running effort and he's open to more progress; strong contender.

Verdict

This looks a good opportunity for SUNDIATA KEITA, who sets a clear standard on his close third at Newcastle two weeks ago and is open to more progress. The pick of the opposition could be Sun Keeper, who ran as though she needed the experience over C&D last month and looks a likely improver on her second start.[David Moon]
