25/1

Eighth of 9 in handicap (12/1) at this course (6.1f) 34 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and this 9-race maiden needs to find improvement from somewhere.

Forecasts

Kayfast Warrior (5/4), Mia Mia (5/1), Major J (6/1), Capaldi (6/1), Sam Bellamy (14/1), Alba De Tormes (14/1), Billie's Girl (16/1), Nagasaki Dream (25/1), Ocean Wilde (28/1), Rose Tiara (33/1), Sundayinmay (40/1)

This has potential to develop into a match between MAJOR J and the hat-trick seeking Kayfast Warrior, with preference for the former after having produced his best effort with the cheekpieces refitted when third at Chelmsford 8 days ago. Tom Dascombe's charge is sure to be popular but may have to settle for silver, with Capaldi seeming best of the remainder.
