11/2

Fairly useful bumper winner. 9/4, eighth of 9 in minor event at Southwell (11.1f) when last seen in December, dropping away quickly. Good chance he'll get back on track now pitched into a handicap.

Forecasts

Appier (16/5), Isle Of Sark (4/1), Morcar (4/1), Way Of Life (5/1), Whatawit (11/2), Robusto (17/2), Fox Flame (33/1), Seal Of Solomon (33/1)

MORACAR could be the answer having shaped well in handicaps on the turf course here and at Windsor since returning from a break last month. He may well have most to fear from Appier, who took a step back in the right direction at Kempton and is on an attractive mark. Robusto is third choice ahead of Isle of Sark.
