1/2

Much improved, in first-time blinkers, when winning 7-runner handicap at Bath (11.6f, good to firm) 5 days ago. Looks well in under 6 lb penalty and holds strong claims.

Forecasts

Galilaeus (1/2), Michael's Pledge (13/2), Edwina Sheeran (13/2), A Day To Dream (12/1), Star (18/1), Eccles Street (20/1), King Harry (22/1), Have You A Minute (22/1), Vitani (50/1)

GALILAEUS looked a different proposition when opening his account at Bath last week and a 6 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Michael's Pledge and Have You A Minute should also go well.
