A difficult affair in which Kyle is preferred to Sonoverregun and A Peaceful Man. The selection finished infront of Sonoverregun last time and while four attempts to break the maiden scarcely inspire confidence, he did not do a lot wrong at the course when finding one too good. The cheekpieces are on for the first time. Sonoverregun was a 66/1 chance on that occasion and is unlikely to be so today. There is clearly plenty to like here. A Peaceful Man has the plot draw of 16. The colt ran green on his Newmarket debut and can be expected to come on for the run. Bussel showed plenty of speed on debut and may be better suited to this trip. Katie Kingfisher was easy to back on her first racecourse appearance and did not help matters by walking out of the stalls. Papradon is related to a number of previous sprint winners so could be anything. Path To Glory ran much better than his 100/1 tag suggested on his second racecourse start and looks likely to set the pace. A difficult race in the absence of market information so it is hoped that Kyle can put his previous experience to good use.
