25/1

C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2019. 18/1, possibly still needed the run when eighth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Has a bit to prove at present.

Forecasts

Mid Winster (9/4), Khabib (5/2), Rebel At Dawn (5/2), Ready Freddie Go (12/1), Soul Seeker (12/1), Lezardrieux (14/1), Leodis Dream (25/1)

REBEL AT DAWN got back to winning ways last time and he can go on to score again. The 4-y-o may have scored narrowly when making all at Redcar, but he was alway holding on and has gone up only 3 lb in the weights as a result. He is taken to see off the challenge of Mid Winster, who should benefit from the drop back to 5f. Khabib has been holding his form well this year and he completes the shortlist.
