11/4

11/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 7 days ago, digging deep. Unpenalised for that and looks to have a very good chance of following up off a 2 lb lower mark.

Forecasts

Alhaajeb (5/2), Conscious (11/4), Dourado (7/1), Petalite (15/2), George Scott (17/2), Eaglesglen (10/1), Salam Ya Faisal (12/1), Rocambole (12/1), Romulan Prince (16/1), Roundel (20/1), Too Shy Shy (25/1)

CONSCIOUS has been shrewdly campaigned; and he finds himself running off 2 lb lower than when winning at Kempton last week as he ran there before his mark was reassessed for his Yarmouth disappointment earlier in the month. If he runs close to the form he showed last week at Kempton, he'll be difficult to beat. Alhaajeb looks progressive and is a big threat. Petalite could improve to play a part.
