4/7

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (11/4) at this C&D 3 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Dangerous to oppose, even under a double penalty.

One win from 35 Flat runs. Last of 12 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft, 33/1) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hood back on. Impossible to recommend in current form.

13/2

Forecasts

Frow (4/7), Zuckerberg (13/2), Doctor Nuno (9/1), Vincenzo Coccotti (9/1), Vitesse Du Son (12/1), Chaplin Bay (16/1), Kennocha (25/1), Light Bay (50/1), Billyoakes (66/1), Dodgy Bob (80/1), Trulove (200/1)

FROW is very difficult to oppose even under his double penalty. He seems to be thriving at the moment and demolished a similar field over C&D on Monday. Vincenzo Coccotti is also in a rich vein of form and will be the biggest danger. Zuckerburg can be forgiven a below-par run at Southwell and is probably the best each-way hope in here against them.
