14/1

3 wins from 9 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (12/1) at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 15 days ago, well positioned. 3 lb rise fair but others more appealing.

Forecasts

Global Warning (2/1), Wild Hope (4/1), Zap (11/2), Starry Eyes (8/1), Insurplus (17/2), Don't Tell Claire (9/1), Gweedore (11/1), Starfighter (12/1), Rousayan (14/1), Striding Edge (14/1), Good Night Mr Tom (25/1)

Preference is for GWEEDORE, who arrives at the top of his game and is still on a workable mark. Global Warning and Zap rate the principal dangers.
