12/1

Took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Leicester (7f, good) 60 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and has possibilities if building on that run.

Forecasts

Amaysmont (10/3), Maxzeno (4/1), Code Purple (5/1), Dandys Derriere (15/2), Jems Bond (10/1), Fiftyshadesofred (11/1), Berkshire Phantom (12/1), Plink (14/1), Bonkersinabundance (14/1), Admiral Nelson (16/1), Miss Britain (25/1), Absolute Dream (33/1)

MAXZENO was a bit underwhelming at Chelmsford last time, but he's worth another chance to confirm the promise of his Newmarket effort dropped further in grade. Code Purple and Fiftyshadesofred have both eased in the weights and could figure prominently.
