Low-mileage 4-y-o who made a winning start for new trainer James Fanshawe at Newcastle (10.2f) in May. Failed to get home over 14f when last of 8 in handicap at Haydock 37 days ago so the clear form choice back in trip with hood back on.

Forecasts

Clever Relation (6/4), Sea Legend (2/1), Roger Henry (7/2), Make A Scene (10/1), Spanish Poet (25/1), Wild Tempo (40/1)

SEA LEGEND possesses much the best form on show and now back at a more suitable trip is impossible to side against lowered in grade. Roger Henry arrives in good form so should ensure James Fanshawe's 4-y-o doesn't have things all his own way, while Clever Relation can't be ruled out either on the back of his excellent Nottingham third.
