Verdict

TIMBER TWELVE overcame the worst of the draw when making a winning debut with a fair bit to spare at Kempton in September and may well be up to defying a penalty with the prospect of more to come. Saint of The Sea was much improved from his debut when second over C&D 6 weeks ago and rates the lead danger.

2	Overcame the worst draw to make a winning debut in 13-runner novice at Kempton (1m) in September, well on top finish. Will improve and highly respected under a penalty. 1st Pick 2 Timber Twelve Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: Michael Bell J: Hector Crouch T: Michael Bell	100	-	-	-	67%

6	Bred to need time and distance but he readily left behind his debut effort as a 2-y-o behind when second in a C&D novice 6 weeks ago. Still looked green then and he's very much of interest with possibility of more to come. 2nd Pick 6 Saint Of The Sea Jockey: Robert Havlin Trainer: Michael Appleby J: Robert Havlin T: Michael Appleby	99	-	-	-	25%

4	Bred for longer trips but encouraging start to career when fourth in a 7f Kempton novice in August. Never a factor in big field sales' race at the Curragh a month later and this promises to reveal more back from 6 months off. 3rd Pick 4 Flash Kozo (Ire) Jockey: Kieran Shoemark Trainer: Harry Eustace J: Kieran Shoemark T: Harry Eustace	86	-	-	-	20%
