7/2

Made a winning handicap debut over 11f at Southwell in July. Might have found the run coming too soon when only fifth of 6 at Chelmsford 8 days later. Freshened up since and remains unexposed.

11/1

Course winner. Last of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Epsom (1¼m, good) 37 days ago, finding test too much. Tongue strap back on. Even longer trip now isn't certain to help.

Forecasts

Eben Zaabeel (11/4), Heat Of Passion (7/2), Expected Arrival (4/1), Parramount (11/2), Liseo (6/1), Rockit Tommy (9/1), Louis Quatorze (10/1), Rocket Warrior (10/1), Tahitian Prince (11/1), Orchestra (33/1), Sixfiveseven (100/1), Cresta Cat (100/1), Ocean Odyssey (150/1), Ghasham (150/1)

A competitive handicap in which another chance is given to Sir Mark Prescott's HEAT OF PASSION back from a short break. Fellow 3-y-o filly Expected Arrival is respected on the back of her Haydock success. Liseo's solid Kempton record has to bring him into the reckoning, while Fergal O'Brien's Orchestra is also of some interest back on the Flat with Tom Marquand booked.
