8/11

10/3 and tongue strap on for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when third of 5 in maiden at Southwell (5f) 13 days ago, inadequate test. Has the best form, but needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

Vibrato (8/11), Plutonic (7/5), Treasure Bay (11/1), Titus Thor (100/1)

Only 4 runners, and one easily discounted, but still tricky. A chance is taken on once-raced PLUTONIC improving past Vibrato whose best form was achieved for a different stable.
