Winner at Haydock in July. 10/1, last of 7 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 27 days ago. Unraced on ground slower than good and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

14/1

One win from 22 Flat runs. Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Chester (6.1f, heavy, 18/1) 18 days ago. Nudged up just 2 lb and should give another good account.

Forecasts

Vince Lombardi (6/1), Sarah's Verse (6/1), Mister Bluebird (7/1), Hiatus (7/1), Balmoral Lady (15/2), Beyond Equal (8/1), Safari Dream (17/2), Miss Bella Brand (10/1), Sub Thirteen (12/1), Connie's Rose (12/1), Hallowed Time (14/1), Symbol of Hope (14/1), Rajwaan (16/1), Revenue (50/1)

BEYOND EQUAL surely would have gone close granted a clearer passage over C&D recently and he makes plenty of appeal off a 2 lb lower mark. He may have most to fear from Safari Dream, who hasn't got his head in front for a while but he's versatile ground-wise and his latest Sandown second suggests that a win could be imminent. Hallowed Time struck on deep ground at Chester last time and he also enters calculations, along with Vince Lombardi.
