4-time course winner. Three wins from 12 runs last year. 5/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap over C&D 16 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Others more persuasive.

12/1

80/1, creditable 3¼ lengths second of 13 to Run Teddy Run in handicap over C&D 9 days ago, no match for winner. 10 lb better off with that rival now but it may not be enough.

Forecasts

Run Teddy Run (8/13), Eagle Eyed Freddie (4/1), Daafy (9/1), Divine Connection (10/1), John O'Groats (12/1), Back From Dubai (16/1), De Vegas Kid (25/1), Lethal Touch (25/1)

As long as recent exertions haven't caught up with RUN TEDDY RUN he looks good for a C&D hat-trick. Eagle Eyed Freddie and Divine Connection can fight it out for the forecast spot.
