5/1

Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm, 15/2) 14 days ago, running on. 3 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent bold follow-up bid.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Mitchell| T: K P De Foy| OR: 86| D

8/1

Forecasts

Tanmawwy (13/8), Lethal Nymph (9/2), Sterling Knight (5/1), Mister Bluebird (11/2), Aphelios (13/2), Expert Agent (8/1), Silver Samurai (10/1), Dig Two (12/1), Dora Penny (28/1)

A good-quality handicap with TANMAWWY the most persuasive option, The Newmarket race he ran in last time wasn't run to suit and with his reappearance second at Newbury well advertised since, he can do some damage from this mark. Mister Bluebird and Silver Samurai (if they go a good clip) look the main threats.
