6/1

Thriving at present, not needing to improve to complete the hat-trick in 5-runner handicap at this C&D (AW, 13/8) 11 days ago, always holding on. Seems sure to give another good account.

Proved better than ever when winning 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 4/1) 15 days ago, well on top finish despite having pulled hard. Can go well again from 4 lb higher.

Resumed winning ways back up in trip in 4-runner handicap at this course (12f, AW, 9/4) 11 days ago, though very much had run of race. Can give another good account.

Forecasts

Mummy's Boy (5/4), Semser (7/2), Dandy Maestro (4/1), Nuble (6/1), Cafe Sydney (12/1), Glasvegas (20/1)

A tightly-knit handicap with the narrow vote going to SEMSER, who was edged out only in the dying strides over C&D 13 days ago and remains one to be interested in with an excellent-value claimer back in the saddle. Nuble impressed with his strength at the finish at Wolverhampton having pulled hard early and is second choice.
