2/1

Placed on two most recent starts including over an extended 1m7f at Catterick (soft) early last month. Races off the same mark here and is one for the shortlist in this contest.

9/2

Still going well when unseating at the 11th in a 2m4f handicap chase at Wincanton (good) earlier this month. Previously a promising fifth on debut for this yard and is of interest once more.

Forecasts

Commis D'Office (2/1), Full Irish (4/1), Flight To Milan (4/1), Solar Impulse (9/2), Derintoher Yank (16/1), Lord Ballim (16/1), Truckers Highway (20/1), Vocaliser (20/1)

COMMIS D'OFFICE performed well when runner-up last time out and he can go one better in this competitive looking handicap chase. Flight To Milan was just touched off at Ffos Las recently and he can finish runner-up here ahead of Solar Impulse who can put a disappointing unseat last time out behind him to take third.
