Impressed when making a winning debut over 6f at Windsor (good-to-firm) last month and a decent effort when third of seven over the same C&D a fortnight later. More needed if he's to take this.

Forecasts

Lake Volta (5/4), Enjazaat (7/2), Regulator (5/1), Rebel Assault (8/1), Helvetian (9/1), Green Power (10/1), Chookie Dunedin (12/1), Tip Two Win (16/1)

REGULATOR finished well when beaten a short-head at Chester last time and he can take this Listed contest for a trainer who won this contest in both 2-13 and 2014. The selection had previously won at the second time of asking on good ground and with similar going forecast today he can get the better of Lake Volta who is having his fourth run in a short space of time here while Enjazaat drops in class today having put in a respectable effort when contesting a Group 2 event last time.
