BLACKSWAN D'OROUX has a good pedigree and could be up to making a winning start for a yard that continues in fine fettle. Big John Ollie showed definite promise on his debut at Ffos Las in October and can be expected to improve, with Le Cold Grey and Irish-raider Kiptanuy two other debutantes to note.

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Rob's Spirit could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Big John Ollie might be well positioned in a slowly run affair: Of the better-fancied horses, I'm Wide Awake is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.

Individual Price Hint: I'm Wide Awake traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 2 starts.
