Not the force of old but he did finish second over C&D in June and he's been given a bit of a chance by the handicapper (dropped 3 lb) after a lesser run at Ripon last time.

Won first 2 starts (C&D latterly) and confirmed he's useful when fourth in 11f Hamilton listed in July. Dropped away tamely in Glorious Goodwood handicap last time but this a bit easier. Blinkers on.

AW novice winner on final 2-y-o start and found some improvement when nailing a fellow 3-y-o on the line at Nottingham (1¼m) last month. Nudged up just 1 lb and couldn't rule out further progress.

Progressive 3-y-o who made it 3-3 in handicaps when seeing off 4 rivals at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 39 days ago. Likely there's more to come so a further 5 lb rise may not stop him.

Forecasts

Boltaway (1/1), Possible Man (7/4), Arrow Of Gold (4/1), Kings Prince (13/2), Dash Of Spice (11/1)

Verdict

BOLTAWAY should have more to offer so could still be a step ahead of the handicapper. Arrow of Gold may be a 4-y-o but is actually the least exposed in the line-up so he's feared most ahead of Sir Michael Stoute's Nottingham winner Possible Man.

  1. BOLTAWAY
  2. ARROW OF GOLD (IRE)
  3. POSSIBLE MAN
