Lightly raced handicap debutant has plenty to do off stiff opening mark

Be Prepared
2.00 Nottingham
SP forecast 5-4

This £42,000 juvenile made a promising debut when third over course and distance last month behind subsequent Woodcote runner-up Oh Purple Reign and last week’s Norfolk third Dubai Station. That form is solid and Simon Crisford’s youngsters often improve for a run.

Conclusion Unlikely to bump into the same quality of rival that he did last time and, although Star Of St James is promising, Be Prepared should win.
