Tends to run very well at Musselburgh and won there three starts back off a 2lb lower mark. Struggled in a higher grade at York after before solid effort last time. Every chance of another good run here.

Ran well over 6f on return which is a trip which stretches him. On a nice mark now and drop back to 5f will suit. Likees to go forward and could be taken on for the lead here by Suitcase 'n' Taxi.

Won two starts back at Carlisle off a 5lb lower mark. Couldn't follow-up over 6f next time and the return to the minimum trip will suit. Likely to be pressed for the lead by Normal Equilibrium in here and they could take each other on.

Took advantage of a drop in the weights to win nicely at Haydock two starts back. Couldn't follow that up off this 6lb higher mark last time but that was behind a well handicapped thriving rival and every chance of a big run here.

6/1
Came on for his reappearance run to win well at Wetherby (5½f, good to firm) two weeks ago. Raised 5lbs for that win but has low mileage and every chance again in here despite being a pound out of the weights.

Forecasts

Suitcase 'n' Taxi (5/2), Royal Brave (5/2), Quayside (3/1), Canford Bay (6/1), Normal Equilibrium (8/1)

Verdict

Royal Brave is sure to appreciate these slightly calmer waters than which he has been tested in of late and has sound claims. QUAYSIDE won well at Haydock before bumping into a thriving rival last time and can win again. Canford Bay is not easily dismissed either, in what is a very tight little race.
  1. Quayside
  2. Royal Brave
  3. Canford Bay
