Much improved from debut when winning 9-runner maiden at Ripon (6f, good) 24 days ago, well on top finish. Concedes weight all round but not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Power Of Zeus (3/1), Golden Strike (18/5), Bondy (4/1), Cuban Harry (5/1), Alshars (8/1), Catton Lady (12/1), Forest Gunner (14/1), Renovate (18/1), Cargin Bhui (40/1), On The Sherbet (66/1), Footonthegas (125/1), Factorforfurniture (150/1)

Verdict

Preference is for BONDY, who boasts a good pedigree and should have learnt plenty all round from his recent promising York debut. Power of Zeus looks the main danger on form, whilst Alshars may be the pick of the newcomers.
