Progressive Lad looks the part
The progressive Ahane Lad looks the part in the featured Open 525.
A winner of five of his 15 starts, Ahane Lad turned in a top drawer effort when recording a clear-cut 28.49 success here on Laurels final night.
Ahane Lad switches to the outside tonight but, if displaying the same early dash, can prove equal to the task.
Kerry Okee, successful in six of his 11 outings, merits respect from a rails draw but a bigger danger may loom in the shape of Hello Homer.
Paul Hennessy's prolific scorer produced a determined effort when carding 28.71 last week and looks certain to make his presence felt.
John Kiely's Goodstart, denied a clear passage when a beaten favourite on her debut last month, finishing second in 29.60, can set the record straight in the fifth race.
The seventh race can go to Burgess Flash.
This fellow created a favourable impression when carding 29.22 first time of asking in September and can gain compensation for an unlucky run last time.
Navahoe Jack, doing his best work in the closing stages when scoring in 29.02 last month, should be well suited by the step up in trip in the 550 yards contest.
