Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 16/1, 3 lengths fifth of 11 to Foreseeable Future in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 20 days ago, faced with a difficult draw. Still, others appeal more for win purposes.

Forecasts

Birdie Bowers (13/8), Foreseeable Future (16/5), Hot Scoop (11/2), Zoom Star (11/2), Marselan (15/2), Excessable (14/1), Duke Of Firenze (16/1), Brazen Belle (18/1), Newgate Angel (50/1)

FORESEEABLE FUTURE is thriving at present, value for extra over the winning margin as he followed up his Ripon success at Windsor 2 weeks ago. He looks the one to side with in this groove and he can complete the hat-trick. Catterick-scorer Hot Scoop and last year's winner Zoom Star head up the dangers, ahead of Birdie Bowers.
