Failed to shine when 11th of 14 in a 1m6f handicap at Chelmsford early last month. Returning from a break and a spell hurdling that day and others make more appeal.

Forecasts

Born To Reason (11/4), Templier (9/2), Prerogative (11/2), Sussex Girl (6/1), Butterfield (13/2), Hidden Stash (11/1), Shovel It On (14/1), Swift Blade (16/1), Mouchee (22/1), Sellingallthetime (25/1), Awesome Rock (66/1)

PREROGATIVE has been running well in defeat in recent starts and he can get his head in front to take this selling handicap. The selection should have no issues stepping up in trip and he can get the better of Born To Reason who can take second on stable debut while third place can go to Sussex Girl who has won here in the past.
