11/1

Ran well in finishing 2L sixth in first time blinkers (retained) when making his seasonal debut in a handicap over this C&D at the start of last month. Interesting runner having won over C&D in the past.

6/1

Finished third on three of his last four starts most recently when beaten 2L over 1m2f at the end of last month. Strong claims off having finished ½L second off this mark over C&D on his penultimate outing.

Decent effort in finishing 2¼L fourth in a handicap over 1m2f at Lingfield last time out. Interesting to see how he performs stepping up in distance.

8/1

Out of form of late including when a well held fourth in a handicap over this trip at Southwell last time out. Handicap mark is falling as a result and he races off a mark 14lb lower than for his most recent victory.

15/8

14 race maiden has placed on each of his last six outings most recently when beaten ½L in a handicap over this trip at Lingfield. Races off a 1lb higher mark here and he is one to note with the visor worn for the first time that day retained.

Well held in both starts this campaign including when beaten 18L in finishing eighth of nine over this trip at Wolverhampton just over a month ago. Others make more appeal.

Five time winner on turf but yet to win in 18 starts on the AW including when 15L seventh over this trip at Lingfield last time out. Others hold more obvious claims in this event.

Forecasts

Noble Fox (15/8), Gold Standard (7/2), Persian Sun (6/1), Dream Magic (13/2), Zack Mayo (8/1), Capla Crusader (11/1), Stormingin (12/1), Foxes Flyer (16/1), Bird To Love (20/1), Westbrook Bertie (20/1), Ravenous (50/1), Dovils Date (66/1)

PERSIAN SUN finished a close third on his most recent start and he can register a victory in a competitive final race on the card. The selection ran well here on his penultimate start and he can see off his rivals with Noble Fox taken to claim second spot ahead of Gold Standard who was a winner on his Flat return recently.
