5/2

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 11/4) 19 days ago, second past the post but subsequently promoted (first 2 well clear). Big shout in hat-trick bid.

Forecasts

Leuven Power (2/1), Greg The Great (5/2), Murphy's Dream (9/2), Duelist (5/1), Be Lucky My Son (7/1)

GREG THE GREAT is improving nicely and can bring up the hat-trick. The well-regarded Leuven Power is up in trip and down in class and could emerge as the danger.
