22/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. C&D winner, so he's no forlorn hope.

40/1

Unreliable type. Modest eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 13/2) 10 months ago. Others more persuasive on his comeback run.

Forecasts

Daafy (11/4), Aquamas (7/2), Bobby On The Beat (4/1), Last Date (7/1), Bavardages (17/2), Casaruan (16/1), Patontheback (18/1), Tyche (20/1), Al Suil Eile (22/1), Available Angel (25/1), Bertog (40/1), Pop Favorite (50/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. BOBBY ON THE BEAT arrives in good order and remains handily weighted under a 5 lb penalty for his recent Chelmsford City success so looks the way to go. Aquamas rates the chief threat in her quest for a first win, especially if the fitting of blinkers ekes out some improvement. Daafy appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
