The going at Newmarket is also of concern with soft ground and the potential for plenty of non-runners (two of the six in the Sun Chariot may head to Longchamp Sunday instead), but I am hoping the experience edge held by Wild Nature will see him home in front in the maiden at 3.50pm.
Second in his Sandown debut and third at the same track on his only other start, the son of Kingman isn’t guaranteed to handle the soft ground anymore than his rivals, but when they come under pressure late on , he will at least be more aware of what is expected of him.
His sire has an acceptable if not inspiring 21% strike rate on soft going, while his dam was second on heavy ground in a Group Three, giving us more hope, while his half-brother Whispering Dream won on soft and very soft building my confidence in his chances as I write.
