9/2

Back to winning ways at Newcastle (10.2f) last month and acquitted himself well in defeat since, latest when close second of 11 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good, 9/2) 10 days ago. Can race off same mark and holds strong claims.

Forecasts

Cliffs Of Capri (7/2), Global Spirit (4/1), Broctune Red (9/2), Westernesse (5/1), Solar Joe (6/1), Shahnaz (10/1), Shimmering Sands (18/1), One For The Frog (18/1), Last Hoorah (18/1), Garden Oasis (20/1), Cedar Rapids (33/1)

This can go to BROCTUNE RED, who arrives in fine fettle and posted his best effort on turf when runner-up at Beverley last time. One For The Frog and Westernesse rate the principal dangers.
