C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Offered little on first outing since leaving David Loughnane after 5 months off when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Haydock (16.2f, firm, 80/1) 40 days ago.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Menzies| OR: 69| C

13/2

3 wins from 8 runs this year. 4/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (12.4f) 14 days ago, digging deep. Significantly up in trip. Clearly thriving on racing at present.

Form: 512121

Victoriano¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 60

7/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 16/1, respectable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 10 days ago, every chance over 1f out. Not dismissed but likely to find a few too strong.

Form: 484243

One Night In Milan¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-1| J: Billy Garritty⁽³⁾| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 58

9/4

Lightly-raced winner on Flat. Useful winner at 25f over hurdles. 2/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Ayr (13.1f, soft) 15 days ago. Should have more to offer back up in trip. Player.

Form: 84521

(6)

Can Can Girl^b¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K Stott| T: D H Brown| OR: 63

5/1

Temperamental sort. Shaped well when second of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 15 days ago, wandering late on. Hard to enthuse about in terms of a betting proposition, though.

Form: 848552

Forecasts

One Night In Milan (9/4), Yagood (7/2), Can Can Girl (5/1), Major Snugfit (13/2), Victoriano (7/1), Crane (8/1), Manjaam (20/1)

The vote goes to ONE NIGHT IN MILAN, who didn't need any great progress to get off the mark in this sphere at Ayr 15 days ago. Keith Dalgleish's charge is very lightly raced for his age, and he should have more to offer back up to 2m. Major Snugfit is clearly thriving on racing at present so he's feared most, ahead of Yagood.
