Off the mark at Yarmouth (14.1f) in May and found further improvement when nose second of 9 to Fictional in handicap (13/8) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 36 days ago. Visor on first time. Likely contender.

Forecasts

Smart Charger (11/4), Fictional (11/4), Warmonger (3/1), Freds Mate (9/1), Beau French (10/1), Masterdream (12/1), Alpine Stroll (12/1), Cherry Cola (33/1), Wilderness (40/1), Lilla Cross (66/1)

WARMONGER has really thrived since stepped up to staying trips and still looks on a workable mark. He can complete the hat-trick. Smart Charger and Masterdream may provide the chief threat.
