11/4

Ex-Irish gelding who opened his account with stylish win in 12-runner handicap (4/1) at Kempton (7f) 5 days ago. Carries 5 lb penalty but had bit in hand there so another bold showing is on the cards.

16/1

Blinkered for 1st time, not disgraced when fourth of 8 in handicap (10/3) at Southwell (8.1f) 11 days ago, going off too hard. Dropped to a handy mark so worth considering.

Passing Nod (5/2), Frow (11/4), Swissal (7/2), Sparkling Diamond (5/1), Trusty Rusty (14/1), Luscifer (16/1), Dubai Elegance (20/1), Spring Romance (20/1), You Don't Own Me (33/1), Don't Joke (50/1), The Saddle Rock (150/1), Mistry Girl (200/1)

FROW has really found his feet now for his new yard so is fancied to follow up his ready Kempton win under a 5 lb penalty. Swissal has yet to run a bad race at this track so is greatly feared and looks the one to chase home David Brown's gelding. Luscifer is weighted to put in a bold showing too so appeals as the pick of the remainder and a solid place prospect.
