6/1

Lightly-raced winner. Very good third of 7 in handicap (15/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 63 days ago. Has the cope for further progress, although drop in trip isn't likely to suit.

Forecasts

Skittlebombz (3/1), Zameka (10/3), Dynamic Talent (9/2), Melodramatica (6/1), Sisters In The Sky (7/1), Dayman (15/2), Botanist (15/2), Way To Win (8/1), Dreaming (14/1), Bond Boy (20/1), Ebtsama (20/1), Bethersden Boy (33/1), Clarence C (40/1), Pimlico (125/1)

SKITTLEBOMBZ has a good record on AW and was arguably unfortunate not to win having suffered interference when fourth at Wolverhampton 23 days ago, so he's a confident choice in a race where the majority have something to prove. Sisters In The Sky is no forlorn hope and Zameka could benefit from a return to synthetics.
