2/1

4/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, keeping on well. Raised 5 lb but sets a solid standard and he looks the one to beat.

Forecasts

Bert Kibbler (2/1), The Thin Blue Line (5/2), Dream Game (7/2), Roydmoor (17/2), Not Now Zeb (10/1), The Cruising Lord (16/1), Fine Wine (22/1), Moonraker (40/1), Mokaman (80/1), Scale Force (100/1)

BERT KIBBLER did it well over C&D earlier this month and he should be able to build on that success to double up off a 5 lb higher mark. The Thin Blue Line wasn't far behind him that day and he'll be a threat once again. Roydmoor looks the next best alternative.
