12/1

Took this event (off 4 lb higher) in 2021 and won 1 of his 7 starts last season. Prefers a sound surface so could be a player if the ground dries out.

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Saffie Osborne| T: H Fry| OR: 94

Forecasts

Good Show (9/2), Spirit Mixer (11/2), Emiyn (13/2), Wickywickywheels (13/2), Metier (8/1), Wise Eagle (9/1), Pleasant Man (10/1), Themaxwecan (12/1), Onesmoothoperator (18/1), Outbox (18/1), Euchen Glen (22/1), Dark Jedi (28/1), East Asia (28/1), Nicholas T (66/1)

This can go to SPIRIT MIXER, who really progressed last year and reappears off a handy mark. Wise Eagle and Pleasant Man head the list of dangers.
