Something went amiss with Heatherdown Hero at Chelmsford on his debut and Wynter Wildes is preferred. The latter showed further progress when runner-up over track and trip last time but one of the newcomers may prove good enough. Sean Woods sent out a couple of winning newcomers last month and runs Guilin but RED KITE can include the smart Group 2 winner Rohaan among several winning relatives and the Johnston’s colt gets the nod to make a winning debut.
Guilin (IRE) Cityscape colt out of Paradise Way.
Heatherdown Hero 11-1 (9-5) Pulled up, at Chelmsford City 7f stks (5) pol in Oct.
Red Kite (IRE) Gleneagles colt out of Vive Les Rouges.
