11/1

Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, good) 3 weeks ago. Can get competitive if building on that.

Back on track when creditable third of 9 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 6/1) 9 days ago. This looks tougher, though.

Forecasts

Fine Interview (13/8), Harry's Halo (11/4), Orbital Chime (7/1), Punchbowl Flyer (11/1), Canaria Queen (12/1), Alfie Boy (12/1), Wichahpi (16/1), Blufferonthebus (20/1), Beauty Choice (25/1), Wessex (100/1)

HARRY'S HALO wasn't ideally placed when third in a stronger contest at Haydock last time and gets the nod in an open-looking finale. Punchbowl Flyer and Beauty Choice can also make their presence felt.
