First run since leaving Marco Botti when last of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot from that.

Fairly useful maiden who bumped into a handicap blot on his 1¼m Salisbury handicap debut 14 days ago. Drops back in trip now with the booking of William Buick catching the eye.

10/3
Winner of novice at Kempton (7f) in March. Third of 9 in handicap at Southwell (1m) in April. Returns from a break as an unexposed sort and no reason on breeding why he won't prove as effective back on turf.

Shaped well when second over C&D (good to firm) last month but has disappointed twice since, latterly a Racing League contest at Chepstow. Needs a return to this venue to have a positive effect.

Forecasts

Never Better (10/3), Devoirs Choice (6/1), Rogue Encore (7/1), Island Bandit (8/1), Rich (17/2), How's The Guvnor (9/1), Pressure's On (12/1), Youarenotforgiven (12/1), Glendower (12/1), Brindley (14/1), Hale End (20/1), My Ambition (22/1), Master Of Combat (80/1), Legend Of Leros (125/1)

Verdict

NEVER BETTER returns from a break as a 3-y-o with the profile of one who should have more to offer so he's the suggestion. Fellow 3-y-o Devoirs Choice has only been nudged up 2 lb for his recent Redcar success and is second choice ahead of Rich, who shaped well here last time, and Glendower, the mount of William Buick.

  1. Never Better10/3
  2. Devoirs Choice6/1
  3. Rich17/2
