11/1
C&D winner. 3 wins from 9 runs this year. 5/2, won 8-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, good) 18 days ago, keeping on well. Thriving at the moment and dangerous to rule out.

Fourth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at York (7.9f, good) 9 days ago, running on. That was a big step forward since joining this yard and he looks to have solid claims dropping in trip.

C&D winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2019. Ninth of 14 in handicap at York (6f, good, 11/1) 8 days ago, ridden too aggressively. On a dangerous looking mark and he should go close.

Verdict

SAFRAN won on the all-weather at Deauville back in January but struggled in two runs since joining David O'Meara before returning to form at York last month. The yard is very adept at getting the most out of new recruits and he could continue to progress now he's rediscovered his form. Admirality looks well handicapped on his best form and should go close. Coase can't be ruled out either.

  1. SAFRAN (FR)
  2. ADMIRALITY
  3. COASE
