Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: A Mullen| T: M Walford| OR: 49

Made all to win impressively over 6f at Ripon (soft) on his most recent outing. Penalised for that success and interesting to see if he can repeat that effort handicap dropping in trip.

Form: 00-641

Forecasts

The Golden Cue (10/3), Rickyroadboy (6/1), Sir Hector (6/1), Stewardess (13/2), Mutabaahy (7/1), Carpet Time (10/1), Seen The Lyte (16/1), Funkadelic (16/1), Two Seas (16/1), Dangerous Lady (16/1), Royal (20/1), Shay C (25/1)

THE GOLDEN CUE was narrowly beaten on his seasonal debut at the weekend and he can go one better and in the process register his second career success. The selection can take this at the chief expense of Rickyroadboy who was a winner recently while Mutabaahy who has been in good form on the AW in recent starts can claim third on his return to the turf.
