Beverly maiden winner last year. Some respectable efforts in handicaps this year but latest sixth of 9 at Leicester wasn't one of them. Back at 5f now.

C&D winner in April and added to tally at Ripon in June. 10/1, eighth of 9 in Class 4 handicap at York (5.4f, good) 33 days ago but should find life a bit easier at this level.

Forecasts

Rory (9/4), Denzil's Laughing (7/2), Equate (5/1), Lola Rebel (13/2), Jacattack (7/1), Coley's Koko (11/1), Dan De Light (16/1), Harswell Prince (20/1)

DENZIL'S LAUGHING is 3 lb lower than when striking at Catterick in the spring and last week's C&D second suggests he be could back in good enough form to take advantage. Rory is going the right way and looks the chief threat ahead of Jacattack.
