14/1, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Had been in good form earlier this summmer so he's fancied to get back on track.

Forecasts

Aspire To Glory (2/1), Loom Large (3/1), Retirement Beckons (4/1), Keep Me Stable (17/2), Darker (11/1), Showmethewayhome (12/1), Odette's Beau (16/1), Chris's Mate (40/1), Dark Eclipse (250/1)

Verdict

Hard to enthuse over any of these but ASPIRE TO GLORY gets the nod to regain some of his earlier season form and notch a first success on turf at the expense of Keep Me Stable, who is struggling for form at present but drops into this company for the first time. Loom Large can edge out Showmethewayhome for third.
