Lightly-raced for one his age and proved a disappointment when a well held fifth at Yarmouth (7f, good-to-firm) on seasonal debut last time. No surprise if he leaves that running behind on his return to the AW.

Forecasts

Crafty Madam (3/1), Treacherous (5/1), Ubla (6/1), Noble Star (6/1), Portledge (10/1), Zain Star (10/1), Lightning Charlie (11/1), Dark Side Dream (12/1), Six Strings (16/1), Glory of Paris (20/1), Nezar (25/1), Magic Mirror (33/1), Another Boy (33/1), Shyron (33/1)

NEZAR is taken to follow up his Wolverhampton victory by taking the penultimate race on the card. The selection has to defy a 5lb rise for that success and can see off recent C&D winner Treacherous with Dark Side Dream capable of finishing third dropping in grade.
