6/1

Six-time course winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Won 6-runner handicap (17/2) at this course (8f, good to firm) 7 days ago, slowly away as is often the case with him. Carries penalty back up in trip but likely to give his running again.

7/4

6/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Leicester (10f, heavy) 73 days ago, very slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Michael Wigham. Isn't an easy ride but possesses her share of ability at this level. Up 1 lb for that facile success.

Forecasts

Bletchley Storm (7/4), Irezumi (10/3), Douglas Dc (7/2), Shalfa (7/2), Uncle Dick (6/1), Luna Effect (13/2), Mrs Maisel (40/1)

Course specialists SHALFA and Uncle Dick clash again with the former taken to uphold the form of their latest clash on these terms. Bletchley Storm was impressive at Leicester so has to be feared starting out for a new yard, as does Luna Effect.
