Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Archie Young⁽⁵⁾| T: C Johnston| OR: 69| C

13/2

Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (8f) in October. Below that level at Musselburgh since but useful claimer takes off 5 lb here and he's a likely player.

33/1

Forecasts

Mighty Nebula (11/4), At Vimeiro (11/4), War Chant (4/1), His Finest Hour (5/1), Etretat (13/2), Dashing Roger (22/1), Myna (25/1), Auguste Lumiere (33/1), The Hun (100/1)

There should be more to come from HIS FINEST HOUR, who got off the mark at the second time of asking at Wolverhampton in October and begins handicapping on a fair mark. Etretat and War Chant should also go well.
