First run since leaving Jack Channon (17,000 gns) when won 11-runner handicap at this C&D (7/2) 24 days ago, produced to lead final 1f. Just 3 lb higher here so every chance he will be in the shake-up.

Forecasts

Star Shield (9/2), Open Choice (9/2), Trais Fluors (11/2), Vindobala (11/2), Hortzadar (13/2), Million Thanks (9/1), Showmedemoney (10/1), Khathak (11/1), Alexander James (18/1), Crownthorpe (25/1), Flag Flying (66/1), Dragons Will Rise (80/1)

Verdict

TRAIS FLUORS made a winning start in gutsy fashion for this yard over C&D last month, and with a 7 lb claimer more than negating a small rise in the weights, Linda Perratt's 9-y-o is taken to follow up at the expense of Star Shield, who found only stablemate Hortzadar too strong over C&D 5 weeks ago. Showmedemoney and Open Choice are another couple to consider in what looks a wide-open contest.
