A desperately hard character to win with he has ability but appears to not want to use it on most occasions. Often very hard to settle and a lack of pace in this small field may make life difficult for him despite being well fancied.

13/8
A four-time C&D winner with his last victory of that ilk coming on his final start of last season off a mark of 62. Ran his best race of the season last time out dropping down the handicap and clearly has chances off a mark of 58 here.

Took an age to get off the mark but finally did so with more patient tactics employed at Redcar off a basement mark over 1m6f. Not quite seen at his best after that but still has a little bit of work to do here off an increased mark.

Forecasts

Tectonic (11/8), La Bacouetteuse (13/8), Kalann (13/8), Adrakhan (11/4), Slipper Satin (10/1), Mr Davies (14/1)

Verdict

Just a quartet go to post now and they all have questions to answer in their various ways with Tectonic having his best chance for ages but his overall record is rather off putting and you never know if he will go through with his effort. Slipper Satin could get the run of the race and making the pace will give her the best chance of winning while Adrakhan does need to improve again. That leaves course specialist LA BACOUETTEUSE as the suggestion with a good run under his belt last time out and a reduced mark giving him a positive profile.
  1. La Bacouetteuse
  2. Slipper Satin
  3. Tectonic
