Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: R Kingscote| T: H Bethell| OR: 63| D

Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Thirsk (8f, good, 11/8) 7 days ago, justifying heavy support. Carries penalty but clearly very dangerous if able to dominate again.

Forecasts

Style Of Life (9/4), Queen's Company (7/2), Ardbraccan (4/1), Groovy Baby (5/1), Dazitoo (6/1), Strangerontheshore (12/1), Liberty Mountain (16/1), Qatar Wave (20/1)

STYLE OF LIFE was seen to good effect when landing a gamble at Thirsk a week ago but it was still a commanding display so a 5 lb penalty won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Ardbraccan is a very reliable proposition at this level, while Queen's Company should be plugging on.
