15/8

Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving James Given when very good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 4/1) 20 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Leading claims on polytrack debut.

Forecasts

Manumission (15/8), Passional (9/2), Solar Park (6/1), Suzi's Connoisseur (8/1), Comeatchoo (12/1), Bernie's Boy (14/1), Our Oystercatcher (14/1), It Must Be Faith (20/1), Wentworth Amigo (20/1), Princely (22/1), Catapult (40/1)

MANUMISSION has significantly fewer miles on the clock compared to most of these and he shaped well on debut for this yard last month. He should be able to build on that to get off the mark here. Passional has been a consistent sort this winter and she won't be far away. Suzi's Connoisseur is another with each-way claims.
