Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rose Dawes⁽³⁾| T: J Channon| OR: 67| BF| D

7/2

Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable second of 10 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 11/4) 5 days ago. Visor back on. Merits consideration from his handy mark.

Forecasts

Safari Dream (10/3), Betweenthesticks (7/2), On Edge (5/1), Recon Mission (13/2), Sovereign Slipper (7/1), Catch Cunningham (17/2), Inspired Knowhow (12/1), Agostino (22/1), Level Up (25/1), Lewis Barnes (125/1)

SAFARI DREAM was disappointing at Goodwood last time but that was a much deeper handicap than this, and with cheekpieces off, he's fancied to bounce back in style. Betweenthesticks and On Edge head the opposition.
