9/2
Narrowly resumed winning ways after 5 months off at Lingfield and probably wasn't seen to best effect in a somewhat muddling contest when fifth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 18 days ago.

Lightly-raced maiden. Shaped as if amiss when last of 10 on handicap debut at Kempton (8f, 22/1), weakening quickly. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon.

Forecasts

Purple Martini (11/8), B Associates (5/2), Gone (9/2), Capofan (8/1), Balmaha (12/1), Chattel Village (20/1)

Verdict

PURPLE MARTINI shaped as if this step back up to 7f would suit when fourth at Ripon just over a fortnight ago, so Ben Haslam's charge is fancied to regain the winning thread at the expense of B Associates, who wasn't seen to best effect on return at Newcastle earlier this week. Gone completes the shortlist.
