8/1

After 7 months, ninth of 10 in handicap at Wetherby (5.5f, good to soft, 13/2) 11 days ago. However, ran better on his second start last year and he's an interesting contender with cheekpieces on 1st time.

Forecasts

Indian Creak (5/4), It Just Takes Time (5/2), Snash (13/2), Baba Reza (8/1), Music Society (9/1), International Girl (10/1), Digital (18/1), Kalganov (40/1)

With his reappearance behind him, INDIAN CREAK bounced back to form when making all in good style at Windsor 10 days ago and he can follow up under a penalty. It Just Takes Time thrived last year and is respected as he goes back up to 6f, while Baba Reza could show more with cheekpieces on first time.
