THOMAS WILD would have to be no world beater to land this bumper on his debut, while both Dormouse and Sammy Two Shoes are worth noting. The selection comes from the Phillip Hobbs stable who are on fire at present. Young Rhys Flint has really caught the eye as a young jockey with a bright future and it would be no surprise to see another win posted to add to his winning tally. Dormouse improved from his debut to finish a decent third of twelve at Fontwell last time out. He does now have race experience which will be in his favour so is very much respected. As is Sammy Two Shoes who was not disgraced at Stratford on his debut when finishing third of nine. He is certain to benefit for the outing and any market moves should be noted. However for the winner we return to the newcomer Thomas Wild.
