12/1

15/2

Course winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Good ½-length second of 11 to Show Compassion in handicap (11/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago. Can go wel but others make greater appeal for win purposes.

Forecasts

Revolucion (7/2), Dicko The Legend (4/1), Conquest Of Power (11/2), Show Compassion (6/1), Red Walls (15/2), Kitbag (15/2), Snow Berry (8/1), Wadi Bani (11/1), Global Effort (12/1), Katar (12/1), Dazzerling (40/1)

A competitive handicap, with CONQUEST OF POWER getting the verdict having shown his form for the first time in a while here last week. He should be suited by the return to 6f, so gets the nod ahead of Revolucion, who bounced back to form at Kempton last time. Katar and Show Compassion are berthed in the widest 2 stalls but arrive at the top of their game and have to be respected also.
