10/3

Solid efforts last twice, latest when third of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good) 46 days ago, would have benefited from stronger handling. Leading contender.

Forecasts

Production (10/3), One Night Stand (9/2), Eye Of The Water (5/1), The Blue Bower (17/2), Chookie Dunedin (17/2), Global Prospector (10/1), Paddy Power (14/1), Minhaaj (14/1), Steelriver (16/1), Little Boy Blue (18/1), Sound Of Iona (40/1), Zulu Zander (100/1), Plumette (200/1)

This can go to PRODUCTION, who shaped better than the bare result at Pontefract last time and can race off same mark here. Eye of The Water and Minhaaj head the list of dangers.
