Benefited from the experience when finishing second last time. That was a significant improvement on the debut effort, and further improvement should see this one go close.

Interestingly bred one who cost a fair amount. Couldn't be in better hands to start, and breeding suggests conditions should suit. Very intriguing, worth a bet.

PROTECTION ACT is a well-bred, unraced two-year-old colt by Starspangledbanner. He is a half-brother to City Tour, a winner at 7f and 1m 3f. The course distance and going should suit him. He should run well on his racecourse debut and could well be able to win this race.

Made an encouraging debut at Newbury in a 6.5f minor event, finishing 4th without coming under too much pressure when making late headway. Capable of better and should feature.
