11/1

Course winner. 4 wins from 12 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 11/1) 23 days ago, all out. Clearly in good heart but more needed up 3 lb here.

Forecasts

Fortune Finder (15/8), Prosili (4/1), Zefferino (4/1), Kingson (5/1), Calidus Mirabilis (17/2), Smoke On The Water (10/1), Laurentia (11/1), Channel Packet (14/1), Rakematiz (16/1), Sophosc (20/1)

Cases can be made for the majority of these but ZEFFERINO is the one who appeals most from a handicapping perspective. A back-to-back winner here last year (latterly off a 4 lb higher mark than this), he shaped as though coming back to the boil at Lingfield where he was left with too much to do. Unexposed handicap debutant Fortune Finder has to be feared and Channel Packet also has claims.
