9/1
C&D winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 17/2) 12 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Remains on a handy mark but needs them to go quick up front.

6/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Could make his presence felt if the race is run to suit.

Forecasts

Prince of Zenda (15/8), Sterling Knight (4/1), Riot (5/1), Miami Thunder (6/1), Love De Vega (13/2), Revolutionise (9/1), Darwell Lion (22/1), Tremblant (40/1)

Verdict

RIOT looks back in top form and is still well treated on past efforts, so he's worth a chance to complete the hat-trick at the possible expense of Sterling Knight, who was better than the result at Lingfield last time. A return to form from Prince of Zenda would make him of serious interest given there's the chance of an easy lead.
