4/1

Back to form after wind surgery when third in Betfair Exchange Trophy at Ascot (2m) in December. Not in that form all 4 starts since (including twice for Tom George) but back from a break he has returned to Harry Fry and the assessor has given him a major chance.

7/2

Made the most of a good opportunity on second start for this yard in 4-runner affair at Sandown (2m, heavy) at the start of the year and back in grade, he doubled his tally at Fakenham in April. Unexposed and opening mark looks fair.

Forecasts

American Gerry (2/1), Grivetana (9/4), Swaffham Bulbeck (11/4), Moulins Clermont (7/2), Lightly Squeeze (4/1), Bashful Boy (14/1), Yes No Maybe So (28/1)

It might be worth siding with LIGHTLY SQUEEZE on his return having rejoined Harry Fry given the handicapper has given him a major chance. Grivetana and American Gerry remain unexposed and are definite threats.
