22/1

Eighth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 25/1) 22 days ago. That was a backward step but he's a player on his Lingfield run prior to that.

9/2

C&D winner. 3/1, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 28 days ago, well ridden. Assessor reacted with 7 lb back on turf but he's clearly in good order.

Forecasts

Kendall Roy (10/11), Sergeant Wilko (9/2), Winged Messenger (5/1), Moonstone Boy (17/2), Curious Rover (10/1), Stash The Cash (10/1), Due For Luck (14/1), Midnight Lir (20/1), G'day Mate (22/1), Mini Magna (66/1)

KENDALL ROY is 1 lb "wrong" under a penalty for Monday's Windsor romp but such was the impression he created that day, he looks more than capable of going in again. Moonstone Boy has been progressing on AW and is another big player.
