6/1

Lightly-raced winner. 16/5, career best when winning 7-runner nursery at this C&D, easily. Off 163 days. Unlikely to have reached his limit, so worthy of respect on return.

11/10

Promising sort. Won 9-runner minor event at this C&D (8/11) 21 days ago, pushed out. Makes handicap debut. May well do better for top yard and leading claims.

Forecasts

Jayyash (11/10), Swift Victory (6/1), Speeding Bullet (6/1), Mr Baloo (7/1), Surveyor (7/1), Screaming Eagle (10/1), Ebt's Guard (14/1), Labalaba (20/1), Sennockian (22/1)

JAYYASH impressed with how quickly he got to the front when landing a C&D novice with something to spare and a mark of 80 is likely to underestimate him, so he's marginally preferred to Surveyor, who also arrives with an upwardly-mobile profile. Swift Victory is another one to consider in what looks a potentially strong 3-y-o handicap.
