10/1

3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Newmarket in August. 14/1, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Should give his running again but handicapper might be catching up with him.

12/1

Latest win at Ayr in June. Last of 13 in handicap (17/2) at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago, missing break. Latest effort is best excused and he shouldn't be ruled out despite a wide draw.

Forecasts

Zapphire (3/1), Light Speed (7/2), Zozimus (6/1), Park Street (15/2), Power Of Gold (8/1), King Of Scotia (10/1), Monte Linas (12/1), Boy Douglas (12/1), Arkenstaar (12/1), Cancan In The Rain (16/1), Chuzzlewit (18/1), Tobetso (50/1)

LIGHT SPEED showed his first form for this yard when forging clear to score at Chester last month and he remains well treated on his best efforts, so he gets the nod over the in-form Zozimus, with Zapphire also on the shortlist.
