Showed a good attitude to double his tally at Beverley in June. Did too much too soon in similar event there last week, so could bounce back to form.

Forecasts

Nakeeta (11/4), Kaizer (3/1), Stormin Norman (7/2), Sea Art (11/2), Three Castles (15/2), Wadacre Galoubet (15/2), Nearly There (8/1), Globetrotter (17/2), Maulesden May (20/1), Arthurs Secret (22/1), An Fear Ciuin (25/1), Shine Baby Shine (25/1), Auxiliary (33/1), Karasheni (40/1)

Verdict

NAKEETA is a risky proposition but he hinted at a revival at Ripon earlier in the month and takes a further drop in grade here, so could be worth chancing. Stormin Norman has relished the step up to staying trips and should remain competitive following a 2 lb rise for his win over C&D in July. Arthurs Secret returns to this code on a competitive mark so shouldn’t be overlooked, either.
