5/2

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 5/1). Off 7 months and while he has to enter calculations off this mark, his record when fresh tempers enthusiasm.

Forecasts

Oriental Spirit (5/2), Dequinto (11/2), Coast (13/2), Glory Call (13/2), Tathmeen (7/1), Metal Beau (11/1), Global Effort (12/1), Ustath (12/1), Red Walls (12/1), Embla (50/1), Dunnington Lad (50/1), Close Of Play (66/1)

COAST was in good order prior to a below-par display here last month and she has a good chance in a race devoid of a standout candidate. Next on the list is Dequinto, who put in a good shift at Brighton and a reproduction of that will give him a real chance. Oriental Spirit has solid form claims but he will probably come on for the run.
