14/1

Down in the weights and took a small step back in the right direction when sixth of 11 in handicap at this course (5f) 12 days ago, never nearer. Return to 6f should suit.

Forecasts

Golden Duke (5/2), He's An Angel (9/2), East Bank (5/1), Lord Abama (6/1), Alfa Whiteburd (7/1), Front Gunner (10/1), Callianassa (14/1), Noble Captain (14/1), Piper's Fort (20/1), Spartan Fighter (28/1), Howzak (33/1), Tathmeen (40/1), Rogue Thunder (50/1), Quanah (80/1)

EAST BANK is below his last winning mark, gained at this venue, and having shaped as though back in form over 7f here 12 days ago, a bold bid looks assured returned to 6f. Lord Abama also lurks on a dangerous mark and is feared, while Golden Duke is likely to be in the thick of action down slightly in class.
