Flat/hurdles winner who confirmed he retains some ability when 4.5 lengths fourth of 7 at Epsom (12f) in July. plugging on. Return to 1¾m rates a plus if he can build on that now.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: H Main| OR: 66

16/5

First run since leaving Mark Johnston when pulled up in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 23 days ago, clearly not 100% on the day. Still, needs to confirm stamina for the trip.

Forecasts

Bollin Neil (11/4), Lord Torranaga (16/5), Prison Break (8/1), Overthink (17/2), Justified (9/1), Tindrum (10/1), The Navigator (10/1), Daawy (16/1), Miss Roulette (20/1), The Twisler (20/1), Hackberry (22/1), Novis Adventus (33/1), Jamil (50/1)

LORD TORRANAGA was forced into a change of tactics on the back of a tardy start but confirmed himself in good form when keeping on for third over shorter here 17 days ago. Operating from a workable mark, he could be the answer. 3-y-o Overthink, last year's winner Bollin Neil and The Navigator head up the dangers in a competitive finale.
