6/1

Suited by return to fibresand when winning 6-runner event on handicap debut at Southwell (16.5f, 17/2) 22 days ago, eased close home. Claims from 7 lb higher if proving just as effective on turf.

13/8

Stepped up on reappearance run when scoring in good style in 11-runner handicap at this course (14f, heavy, 10/3) 10 days ago, keeping on well. 5 lb rise fair and could still have more to offer.

Forecasts

Cochise (13/8), Soros (6/1), Call My Bluff (8/1), Elham Valley (8/1), Travel Lightly (8/1), Contrebasse (9/1), Diamond Gait (9/1), She's All In Gold (12/1), Endlessly (12/1), Atomic Jack (18/1), Warranty (28/1)

COCHISE seemed suited by a bit of cut in the ground when scoring in good style here 10 days ago and still has very few miles on the clock having missed 2020, so there’s every chance he could progress again. Call My Bluff is worth another chance to get back on the up away from fibresand, while Endlessly is not one to write off for David O'Meara.
