8/1

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (50/1) 23 days ago, always holding on. Might find it tough to get over from the worst of the draw, so others make more appeal.

Admiral D⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| D

17/2

Ungenuine type. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Visored for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 7 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Forecasts

Prop Forward (7/4), Aramis Grey (13/2), Fresh (7/1), Clearpoint (8/1), Admiral D (17/2), Justcallmepete (17/2), Fivethousandtoone (11/1), Baldomero (12/1), May Sonic (20/1), Watchya (25/1), Dubai Station (33/1), Danger Alert (40/1)

PROP FORWARD has an excellent AW record and goes well fresh, so he's worth a chance to make a successful return from 6 months off. The in-form Aramis Grey, second in this last year, looks a danger and a return to form from Fresh would come as no surprise.
