7/1

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (9/2) at Redcar (6f, good) 45 days ago by neck from Sparkling Red, keeping on well. 3 lb rise fair on tapeta debut and is one for shortlist.

33/1

Forecasts

Yorkshire (9/4), Dare To Hope (7/2), The Turpinator (6/1), Secret Guest (7/1), Sporting Hero (11/1), Mondammej (12/1), Ascot Adventure (12/1), Snazzy Jazzy (14/1), Another Investment (18/1), It Just Takes Time (22/1), Illusionist (25/1), Rathbone (33/1), Sparkling Red (33/1), Jump The Gun (66/1)

Preference is for THE TURPINATOR, who shaped well on his first crack at sprinting at Ripon in September and remains on a workable mark. Secret Guest and Yorkshire head the list of dangers.
