Course winner. Visored first time, ninth of 10 in similar event here 6 days ago, going off too hard. Others more persuasive.

Off since a poor run at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in April. Did manage to win a race there over the winter and each-way claims if primed after his break.

Forecasts

Maylah (4/9), Laurentia (9/2), Vitesse Du Son (11/2), Channel Packet (15/2), Just Albert (22/1), Patroon (25/1), Carmela Soprano (33/1), Hammock (100/1)

The thriving MAYLAH was caught out by a sharp 7f earlier in the week but should make no mistake now returning to 1m. Vitesse du Son and Laurentia can battle it out for minor honours.
