Posted best effort yet, back from 10 weeks off, when close second of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 13/2) 11 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and is one for shortlist.

Forecasts

Ciotog (7/2), Spirit Of The Bay (7/2), Fihrayn (13/2), Mercian Warrior (7/1), Vellner (15/2), Beau Gars (8/1), Bella Veneta (8/1), Racing Demon (9/1), Macs Dilemma (11/1), Saffredi (16/1), Hadley Park (200/1)

FIHRAYN is still relatively low mileage and found improvement when runner-up at Kempton earlier this month. This step back up in trip should suit and he gets the nod in the finale. Macs Dilemna and Vellner are feared most.
