25/1, respectable fifth of 11 to James's Delight in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 42 days ago. This fair 6f winner at 2yrs is no forlorn hope if building on it.

Forecasts

Elmonjed (4/1), Ziggy's Condor (4/1), James's Delight (6/1), Pocklington (8/1), Woodhay Wonder (8/1), Imperial Guard (9/1), Garfield Shadow (9/1), Serried Ranks (11/1), Almarada Prince (16/1), Tropical Island (16/1), Twilight Romance (18/1), We Never Stop (20/1), Run Boy Run (20/1), Vince L'Amour (22/1), Chief Mankato (22/1), The Coffee Pod (25/1), Midnight Affair (40/1), Cover Point (50/1), Media Shooter (66/1)

Verdict

An ultra competitive sprint. WOODHAY WONDER is on a major roll but still figures on a handy-looking mark so edges the vote in her bid to seal a remarkable five-timer. Richard Fahey holds a strong hand and his Garfield Shadow (second choice) could emerge as the pick of his quartet. Elmonjed and Pocklington both look to have better days ahead of them and command plenty of respect too, with Vince L'Amour completing the shortlist in a cracking contest.
