4/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap (5/2) at this course (6f) 14 days ago. Remains well treated on old form and hard to rule out the follow-up from a good draw.

Forecasts

Tonal (2/1), Amaysmont (4/1), Ballybaymoonshiner (5/1), Outreach (6/1), Warrior Square (11/1), Top Button (14/1), Porfin (18/1), Sea The Buckthorn (20/1), Miltonia (33/1), Dors Toyboy (40/1)

BALLYBAYMOONSHINER is right at the top of his game and is fancied to get back to winning ways on the back off an excellent second at Lingfield. Amaysmont is an obvious danger following his success over 6f here a fortnight ago and Tonal should be on the premises.
