Verdict

AS FAST AS WIND is holding her form well for Tristan Davidson and is taken to gain a deserved first success for the yard on the back of a very good Musselburgh third. Thank You Blue could emerge as the chief danger after a break, although Filibustering figures on a handy-looking mark if back to his best in a first-time tongue tie.

4	Impressive hurdle debut winner at Kelso and a solid third in Bangor novice in November, Has proved a disappointment in 2m handicaps at Kempton and Ludlow subsequently, however.
