5/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2020, but arrives on back of good third of 12 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Merits consideration back at 1m with blinkers fitted.

40/1

Forecasts

Lexington Warfare (9/4), Temper Trap (5/1), Swiss Knight (5/1), Pallas Lord (13/2), Velma (9/1), Traveller (10/1), Engles Rock (14/1), Shackabooah (20/1), Wootton Creek (25/1), Kevin The Minion (25/1), Tarnhelm (40/1), Cammy (80/1), Lady Artela (125/1)

Course-winner LEXINGTON WARFARE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth over C&D last time so is fancied to get back to winning ways now off an unchanged mark. Swiss Knight is a long time without a win but can't be ruled out after his good recent Ayr third. Temper Trap is another who seems sure to make his presence felt in his bid for a fourth win of 2021.
