7/4
Won first 2 starts as a 2-y-o and having shaped well on numerous occasions this term, he deservedly resumed winning ways in decisive fashion in 5-runner handicap at Haydock (7f, soft) 12 days ago. 5 lb higher mark to defy now but not taken lightly.

Useful handicapper in Ireland but well held in 3 runs for new yard and needs more.

7/2
Game winner over C&D last summer and ended 2-y-o campaign on the up, second in a 7f novice at York that worked out well. Back on track when good fourth of 14 in handicap at York (7.9f, good to soft) 21 days ago and must enter calculations.

Latest win at Chester in July. Bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap (10/3) at Newmarket (7f, good) 15 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Forecasts

Cerulean Bay (7/4), Sailthisshipalone (7/2), Quest For Fun (4/1), Lowton (7/1), Persuasion (8/1), Diamondonthehill (17/2), Scottish Summit (18/1), American Star (18/1), Yermanthere (33/1)

Verdict

Preference is for PERSUASION, who has dropped to a handy mark and bounced back to form at Doncaster a fortnight ago. Cerulean Bay and Sailthisshipalone are feared most.
