11/2

Awarded 10-runner handicap (3/1) at Lingfield in January and ran well when edged out by a next-time-out scorer at Kempton (11f) 8 weeks later. Has a lower mark back on turf and one to take seriously.

Magical Dragon (5/1), Platinum Prince (11/2), One Last Dance (13/2), Mabre (7/1), Luxy Lou (7/1), Hurricane Helen (15/2), James Park Woods (8/1), My Boy Charles (9/1), Dewey Road (10/1), Bannergirl (12/1), Breckland (25/1), Grandstand (25/1), Nick Vedder (28/1), Win Win Power (50/1)

PLATINUM PRINCE has gained both wins on AW but he went close on turf last summer and looks well treated off his lower mark in this sphere. Magical Dragon won't need to have come on much for his reappearance to go close, while One Last Dance has a bit of class for this level and is another to consider.
