11/4

12/1, very good second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 9 days ago, having run of race. Going the right way and well worth another chance to go one better on polytrack debut.

Well held in a trio of maidens last summer but is from a good family and looks the type to do better now switched to a handicap after a break. Watch betting.

Took a step forward in a first-time hood when third of 10 on handicap debut at this C&D 13 days ago, despite still looking rough around the edges. Should progress further.

Forecasts

Strike Alliance (15/8), Ready Reckoner (9/4), Outrace (11/4), Cariad (11/4), Insolente (14/1), Drum Brae Boy (20/1), Stintino Sunset (22/1), No News (28/1), Leonna (33/1)

OUTRACE had the run of things when finishing runner-up for the third start in succession at Wolverhampton last week, but it was still his best effort yet, so he's well worth another chance to get off the mark. Strike Alliance is open to further progress having looked far from the finished article on his recent C&D handicap debut, while others to consider are Ready Reckoner and Leonna.
