15/2

Ninth of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Latest run is easy to excused and penultimate outing was encouraging, so can't be dismissed.

Forecasts

Aleatoric (5/2), Tulane (7/2), Denable (13/2), The Resdev Way (7/1), Fred Bear (15/2), Wemyss Point (10/1), Smart Boyo (12/1), Miss Pollyanna (16/1), El Paco (16/1), Silent Partner (28/1), Be Easy (33/1), Ayda (50/1), Severus Alexander (66/1)

ALEATORIC has started the year in good order and is fancied to reverse form with Tulane from a C&D contest a fortnight ago, although the latter obviously warrants respect in his current mood. Denable, who has placed on 4 of his last 5 outings, is another one to consider.
