7/4
Made a winning debut for current yard at Ayr in August and backed it up with very good second of 7 in handicap (5/2) at this course (7f, good) 14 days ago. Has to be taken seriously despite 3 lb rise.

Career best when winning 6-runner claimer at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 7/4) 16 days ago. This return to handicap company demands a bit more, though.

Forecasts

Cobra Kai (7/4), Wheal Kitty (4/1), Do I Dream (6/1), Bungley (15/2), Mick McHugh (15/2), Selfish Brian (10/1), Stripzee (14/1), Van Zant (28/1), Purple Ice (28/1)

Verdict

COBRA KAI has made an excellent start to life for his current yard and can defy a 3 lb rise to make it 2-3 for Keith Dalgleish. Wheal Kitty is feared most on the back of her C&D success, with Mick McHugh and Selfish Brian appealing as the duo best equipped to fight it out for minor honours.
