If it doesn't clear maidens today, it won't be too long in doing so. Less than a length behind Risque Ruler two back and that one's form has made it look capable

F: 514B(8)W(55.5)

This Stephen Marsh runner was impressive when winning its maiden at only its second start. That must have prompted them to step it up to a conditions race last time and it wasn't far away. Good chance but wide draw to overcome
