4/1

11¼ lengths last of 7 to Democracy Dilemma in listed race (9/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 24 days ago, again very slowly away. Visor on 1st time. C&D winner in small-field event (also second in this in 2022). Problems at the start mean he's become an unreliable betting proposition.

Forecasts

Emaraaty Ana (8/15), Tees Spirit (4/1), Clarendon House (4/1), King Of Stars (18/1)

EMARAATY ANA went close in the Beverley Bullet over C&D 3 weeks ago and could be hard to beat if replicating that effort on these terms down in class. Clarendon House is the class rival but has been having real trouble at the start this season.
