Quirky sort but impressive when resuming winning ways in 1m Chelmsford handicap under this rider 12 days ago. Raised just 2 lb and good claims if backing that up.

C&D winner. Career best when winning 19-runner handicap (20/1) at York (7.9f) 23 days ago by 1½ lengths from Give It Some Teddy. Obvious chance if backing that up, though profile patchy this year.

Forecasts

Lion Tower (9/2), Itkaann (6/1), Satono Japan (13/2), Headingley (15/2), Star Shield (8/1), Give It Some Teddy (9/1), Trinity Lake (11/1), Challet (11/1), Just Hiss (11/1), Garden Oasis (12/1), Global Spirit (14/1), Natchez Trace (33/1)

Verdict

SATONO JAPAN offered firm signs of a revival in a good handicap at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and could be the way to go from an unchanged mark for a top yard with a good record here. The thriving Lion Tower is considered, along with Star Shield and Chelmsford-winner Headingley.

  1. SATONO JAPAN (JPN)
  2. LION TOWER (IRE)
  3. STAR SHIELD
