18/1

Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at this C&D 49 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. First run for yard after leaving James Tate. Tongue strap on 1st time. Worth a market check.

Forecasts

Zhang Fei (10/3), Graystone (4/1), Goodwood Glen (11/2), Wurlitzer (6/1), Waleyfa (15/2), Golden Claim (17/2), Sunset (17/2), Villeurbanne (18/1), Sharla (22/1)

GOLDEN CLAIM has been going the right way and wasn't ideally positioned when a staying-on fourth over C&D last time. Provided they go a good pace, he should arrive with a strong late run, so he's marginally preferred to Sunset and Zhang Fei in what strikes as a tightly-knit affair.
