Phillip Makin trains Hickory Lad in the Woodcote Stakes and there was a strong showing at Chester at the beginning of May. In a five-furlong conditions stakes, the runner performed well on good ground, having previously triumphed at Musselburgh. That was a straightforward success but came after a second-placed effort in a maiden stakes at Thirsk.
Star Prospect has made two appearances at a racetrack and there was a success on a debut when victory was achieved at the Curragh. The 9/2 poke was able to act the best on the soft ground in Ireland, with that coming before a third-placed effort at Naas. The horse was sent off as the 4/6 favourite before being beaten and is best avoided at the prices now.
Possessive has won on his only outing to date and Karl Burke's two-year-old was an impressive winner at York on his debut. It was a one-length success in a novice stakes although it's not a huge amount of form to go off. The lack of experience could be a negative and perhaps the horse is a touch too short in the market for this race.
Wild Terrain is the other horse currently trading at single figure odds. Hugo Palmer's two-year-old was able to oblige north of the border when scoring at Hamilton. The 5/2 joint-favourite won by a length and a half when landing a victory over six furlongs. Dandyman Dan comes next in the market and followed a win with a fifth-placed effort last time out.
