40/1

Changed yards and returning from nearly two years off the track when sixth of seven over 5f here last month. Disappointed in a claiming handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good-to-firm) subsequently and others make more appeal.

16/1

7/4

Dual Kempton novice winner over 6f and has run well on two of his three handicap starts. Beaten ½L over this C&D last time out and is interesting following a 1lb rise in the weights.

Forecasts

Alkaraama (11/8), Intuitive (7/4), Embour (5/1), Walk On Walter (8/1), Katheefa (10/1), Watchable (12/1), Woven (14/1), Power Link (16/1), Bossipop (25/1), Unabated (40/1)

INTUITIVE showed up well when placed here last time out and he can go one better than when finishing runner-up on that occasion. Alkaraama represents a leading stable and can finish runner-up on just his fourth career start while third place can go to Katheefa who was a winner here earlier this year.
