4/1

Course winner. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (13/2) at Yarmouth (8f, good) 20 days ago. Has dropped below last winning mark and the return to AW is likely to suit, so worth taking a chance on.

10/1

Seventh of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) when last seen. Off 9 months. Type to make a better 4-y-o and, while it's taken some time for him to make his return, he's well worth monitoring in the betting.

Ring of Light^p³⁶

12/1

C&D winner. Creditable 2¼ lengths third of 9 to Dutch Kingdom in handicap (11/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 36 days ago, running on. Arrives in good order back from a wind op and should be respected.

Forecasts

Al Rufaa (4/1), Get The Music On (9/2), City Of York (6/1), Dream Pirate (9/1), Ernie's Valentine (9/1), Atlantic Gamble (10/1), Dutch Kingdom (10/1), Monte Linas (10/1), Ring of Light (12/1), Ivasecret (12/1), Sennockian (28/1), Achillea (66/1)

AL RUFAA hasn't been firing but he promises to be well suited by the return to polytrack and he's become well treated, so he gets the nod over Atlantic Gamble, who left the impression he's still in form last time. Dream Pirate is also likely to be thereabouts.
