20/1

Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap (4/1) at Chester (5.1f, good to soft) 13 days ago, well on top finish. Retains plenty of enthusiasm even at the age of 10 and is a credit to connections. Won this in 2018 and second in 2019.

Forecasts

Prince of Zenda (3/1), Bergerac (5/1), Thunder Moor (6/1), Vintage Clarets (8/1), Monsieur Kodi (11/1), Burning Cash (11/1), Ziggy's Missile (12/1), Project Dante (12/1), Moonstone Boy (14/1), Mattice (16/1), Makanah (16/1), Navello (20/1), Copper Knight (20/1), Brazen Bolt (66/1)

Always a good sprint handicap and last year's winner VINTAGE CLARETS (1-1 on AW) could go in again. Prince of Zenda and the admirable Copper Knight, who won this in 2018 and was second in 2019, are a couple of the obvious dangers.
