7/4

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D (15/8) 19 days ago, bit in hand. Raised 8 lb for that success but he looks progressive and may continue his upward trajectory here.

Forecasts

Pinball Wizard (7/4), Onaraggatip (5/2), Puerto De Vega (7/2), Strike (4/1), Sweet Bertie (25/1), For Peat's Sake (33/1), Perfect Match (50/1), It's A Love Thing (80/1)

PINBALL WIZARD is on a roll and it would be brave to oppose him overcoming an 8 lb rise in what is a fairly uncompetitive affair. Puerto De Vega may provide the biggest threat on his first start for Stuart Williams given Oisin Murphy is booked to ride. Strike is lightly raced and isn't out of it.
