Couldn't improve when third at Newbury but still a strong contender for an in-form yard

Improving with each run, second of eight at Leicester; more to come and a serious player

£80,000 breeze-up buy; wouldn't have to be anything special to make impact on debut

Down the field at Beverley but was notably green and could now make significant progress
2 (1)	Borderline Boss Bay J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	J:Tom Eaves T:Kevin Ryan	133	—	7	-	41	26	45d	—	—	-2	0.7	8.00/1	33 3%

Slowly away and made only brief headway when well held at Ripon; needs a huge leap forward
8 (4)	Starlight Stanley Chestnut J:Connor Beasley T:Michael Dods	J:Connor Beasley T:Michael Dods	133	—	—	-	34	-	22d	—	—	-1	0.4	24.75/1	100 1%

7 (3)	Northern Cracksman Bay J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	J:Ben Robinson T:Brian Ellison	133	—	87	-	47	24	12d	—	—	-1	0.4	37.25/1	150 1%
Poor form in two runs over 6f/7f, triple-figure odds each time; looks one for longer term
11 (5)	Alma Don Bay J:Jonny Peate(3) T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	J:Jonny Peate(3) T:Roger Fell & Sean Murray	128	—	9	-	41	-	14d	—	—	-1	0.2	49.75/1	200 1%

Beaten out of sight at Carlisle on debut and hard to fancy just eight days on
