10/3

C&D winner. Bit below form eighth of 15 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D (good) 31 days ago, met some trouble. Edging down the weights and chance can't be ignored.

Forecasts

Danzan (10/3), Ertebat (4/1), Ascot Adventure (9/2), Kitaab (11/2), Cliffcake (6/1), Bicep (12/1), Flash The Dash (14/1), Devilwala (16/1), Touchwood (16/1), One More Dream (22/1), El Montejean (50/1)

ASCOT ADVENTURE is well treated on past exploits and produced his best effort since joining his current stable when third at Beverley 10 days ago, so he gets the marginal vote in an open-looking contest. Kitaab is still relatively unexposed and looks an obvious threat, while last-time-out winner Cliffcake is respected after a 4 lb rise.
