Unreliable sort who remains a maiden after 20 runs. Off course since falling heavily eighth in handicap at Plumpton 6 months ago, so others are preferred here.

Forecasts

Some Detail (5/2), Thunderstruck (3/1), Push The Tempo (4/1), Liffeydale Dreamer (9/2), Story Of Friends (5/1), Drumlee Watar (5/1), Druim Samhraidh (16/1), Kilkeaskin Molly (33/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but SOME DETAIL arrives at the top of his game and is weighted to add to his summer Market Rasen success so gets the nod. In-form Drumlee Watar can boast a C&D victory and is next on the list, although Fontwell-scorer Thunderstruck is another with solid claims, especially if a recent wind op ekes out some more improvement.
