11/1

Course winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 14/1) 8 days ago. Now 1 lb lower than for his all-the-way success over a mile here in March and he will be a threat if on-song.

Forecasts

Riot (7/4), Gulmarg (11/4), Media Guest (7/1), Maid In Kentucky (15/2), Yantarni (11/1), Get Stuck In (11/1), Temple Bruer (12/1)

GULMARG has been knocking on the door in stronger handicaps than this pretty much all year and is presented with a golden opportunity to get back on the scoresheet. Riot is now 1 lb lower than for his latest success at Doncaster during the summer and he rates the main danger. Perhaps the first-time visor will help Get Stuck In to rediscover some form and, if so, he will also be a threat.
