11/1

Four-time course winner, but his last victory came back in 2022. Fared little better than on his return when tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 22/1) 10 days ago. Others more persuasive at present.

Forecasts

Coloane (2/1), Without Delay (11/4), Homer Stokes (10/3), Key Look (4/1), Miss Willows (9/2), Rockin Rosa (11/2), Secret Daay (15/2), Motawaazy (11/1), Blackintime (14/1), Sparkle In His Eye (16/1), Doomsday (16/1), Megatron (50/1)

WITHOUT DELAY did well in the circumstances when getting back to winning ways at Musselburgh last time, not settling fully having raced wide without cover, so she can build on her latest effort to score again. The main danger could be Rockin Rosa, who bounced back to form when third at this C&D on her latest outing, with Key Look also considered.
