5/4

Fairly useful gelding. 10/11, creditable third of 10 in minor event at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 16 days ago, going off too hard. Should be a factor in a race like this.

Forecasts

Mahagoni (5/4), Point Lynas (11/4), Bolton Abbey (4/1), Art Expert (8/1), Vintage Fashion (11/1), Beluga Gold (14/1), Leaveitwithme (40/1), Bazza The Barrel (66/1)

MAHAGONI probably did too much too soon at Epsom a fortnight ago but he is well worth another chance at this sort of level. Point Lynas is just about the form pick but stall 7 may present a problem, with Bolton Abbey also of interest.
