11/2

5/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 25 days ago. No reason why he shouldn't give another good account after 5-lb rise.

Arabian Warrior (11/10), Dazzling Rock (5/2), Sophar Sogood (11/2), Chairman Power (15/2), Baladio (33/1), Blowing Dixie (66/1)

ARABIAN WARRIOR has a progressive profile on AW and shaped as if still in form when only sixth at Nottingham last time, so he's taken to prevail with cheekpieces on for the first time. Sophar Sogood is a consistent operator who scored at Southwell recently, so he's considered a danger alongside Dazzling Rock.
