Bounced back from rare below par effort when staying on third at Kempton last week over 2m5f in a blanket finish. Looks worth a go at this longer trip and won here earlier in the season so has to be respected.
Returns to the smaller obstacles after a couple of tame efforts over fences. Did run well over hurdles here last spring but something to prove after more recent efforts and others have more solid claims.
In cracking form and completed quick hat-trick with game win at Warwick recently, once again showing great attitude. Up in class today but two from two at this track and won't go down without a fight.
Forecasts
Canyon City (9/5), Uno Mas (2/1), Kilbrew Boy (9/2), Wind Place And Sho (7/1), Sir Mangan (10/1), Oxford Blu (18/1)
UNO MAS has another 8lb rise to overcome but is worth a go in this better class and certainly won't lack for heart in his bid for for a sixth win last eight starts. Canyon City ran right up to his best at Kempton last week and may do better for the extra trip and rates the danger with Kilbrew Boy also rating a threat back at this track.
