Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap (15/8) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 7 days ago. Should be hard to beat again if the race doesn't come too soon.

Forecasts

Lunar Space (6/4), Kodi Noir (3/1), Daisy Roots (11/2), Elusive Tiger (10/1), Cap D'Antibes (10/1), El Royale (11/1), Poppaea (14/1), Star Of St Louis (18/1), Dillydingdillydong (25/1), Alicefromumbridge (66/1), College Wizard (80/1)

LUNAR SPACE upped his game to score at Wolverhampton last week and another small step forward would probably be enough for him to follow up in a race that lacks depth. Daisy Roots and Elusive Tiger are next on the list.
