3/1

Running well in defeat so far this season and was a C&D winner off a 6lb higher mark in January last year. Return to this surface likely to suit.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: J Mackie| OR: 82| CD

Completed a fibresand treble over this trip earlier this year. Disappointing when last in action back in May and probably best watched at present.

50/1

Winner of a 5f seller here on his final start for Tom Dascombe. Well beaten at Chelmsford (5f) on debut for this yard and others make more appeal.

AKBAR SHAH can make a winning handicap debut in this trappy 6f handicap. The selection is the least exposed runner in the field and with improvement likely he can get the better of Giant's Treasure who can put a disappointing handicap debut behind him by claiming second. Third place can go the way of top weight Kasbah who should appreciate this return to the AW.
