Latest win at Kempton in April. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 16/1) 12 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Looks to hold leading claims.

Forecasts

Lilkian (9/4), Epsom Faithfull (4/1), Sir Rodneyredblood (6/1), Good Earth (15/2), Give 'Em The Slip (9/1), Real Estate (9/1), Rockingham Jill (12/1), True Belief (18/1), Vivency (25/1)

LILKIAN is below his last winning mark and wasn't beaten far at Wolverhampton last time. His trainer has been amongst the winners of late and he should be able to gain a second victory for the yard here. Give 'Em The Slip showed some decent form here earlier in the year and could bounce back. Good Earth isn't out of things either.
