10/1

Three wins from 7 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm, 15/2) 19 days ago, staying on well. 7 lb rise unlikely to prevent another bold bid.

Forecasts

Non Stop (5/2), Blue Collar Lad (5/1), Devon Envoy (11/2), Doolily (11/2), Arlecchino's Gift (10/1), Thank The Lord (10/1), Pride Aside (12/1), Notre Maison (12/1), Romantic Memories (14/1), Hot Legs Lil (40/1)

The drop to 6f may suit NON STOP who led for most of the way when second on his 7f handicap debut and is taken to go one better now. Arlecchino's Gift is the one in this line-up who really knows where the winning post is so he's feared most. Devon Envoy will also have a say if recapturing the level he showed when second on his C&D reappearance.
