Lightly raced with this just his fifth appearance; career moving upwards; finished in front of two of these here over 1m½f (maiden plate) when second at 14-1 (beaten 2½l) last month; G Lerena a noteworthy booking.

Verdict
A tight one to call but it's hard to get away from SAMUEL SHARPE. Forever Red may have his stamina stretched over this trip. Umami is one to consider from the best draw, and Lance Alot should be in the hunt.
Samuel Sharpe
