Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good, 7/1) 17 days ago. Should be well suited by the return to this trip, and he's likely to be on the premises.

Forecasts

Night Sparkle (5/2), Country Pyle (9/2), Achnamara (11/2), Seven Pockets (13/2), Pretending (15/2), Buxted Reel (15/2), Eagle Court (10/1), Ravens Ark (16/1), Seattle King (200/1)

Verdict

COUNTRY PYLE is in excellent form and found only one too good over 2m at Kempton last time, so she's worth a chance to get back to winning ways, with Night Sparkle appearing an obvious danger following her success at Haydock in September. Buxted Reel, who caught the eye at Chelmsford last time, is also considered.

  1. Country Pyle9/2
  2. Night Sparkle5/2
  3. Buxted Reel15/2
