9/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Sixth of 7 in handicap (18/1) at Epsom (6f, good to firm) 69 days ago. This is a drop in class so he's worth a betting check.

Forecasts

Visibility (3/1), Unsung Hero (3/1), Thapa VC (4/1), Surprise Picture (5/1), Repartee (9/1), Melodramatica (16/1), Follow Your Heart (22/1), Starshiba (22/1), Poetic Force (25/1), Bare Necessity (28/1), El Bello (33/1), Jill Rose (40/1)

UNSUNG HERO is a 3-y-o who has progressed well since returned to AW and even a 9 lb rise may not prevent him completing a hat-trick. Course-specialist Thapa Vc should have a part to play, while Visibility is also respected after a series of good efforts here last month.
