Broke his maiden here also won at Salisbury in May. 9/1, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago but was a close second over 12f here on penultimate outing and he holds frame claims, despite wide draw.

Still winless in the UK but shaped much better than distance beaten suggest when 3¾ lengths seventh of 12 to Euraquilo in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 15 days ago, paying price late for significant moe into contention. Interesting with good claimer aboard.

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 15 days ago, keeping on well. Should give another good account from 4 lb higher mark.

Lightly-raced maiden. Shaped well on first run since leaving Dean Ivory when fourth of 9 in handicap at Sandown (10f, heavy) 21 days ago. Yard can be expected to find key to him and step forward isn't ruled out.

4-time course winner, including when ending long losing run in 13-runner handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, just holding on. Remains well treated on best form and can give another good account.

Ran his best race when fourth of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 8 days ago. Goes from same mark and can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Latest win at Doncaster in July. Disappointing on last 2 starts and drops back significantly in trip here, so others are easier to fancy.

Forecasts

Kaaranah (9/4), Euraquilo (5/1), Culture (6/1), Sharp Distinction (7/1), The Thunderer (15/2), Guilin (8/1), Rikona (10/1), Berrygar (12/1), Saigon (18/1), Bugle Major (33/1), Benjamin Bear (40/1), Clifftop Heaven (50/1), Alpha King (66/1), Wise Glory (66/1)

Verdict

CULTURE made a winning return to Flat action over C&D last time and remains well treated on his best form, so narrowly gets the vote ahead of progressive Lingfield winner Euraquilo. Bugle Major and Kaaranah are others of interest.
