Showed the benefit of his reappearance when second of 10 in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy) in October but took a backward step when eighth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (1m) 49 days ago. Bounce back not ruled out and his record on synthetics is 1-1. Tongue strap applied.

Forecasts

Lerwick (5/2), Encourageable (4/1), Nikovo (9/2), The Cookstown Cafu (9/2), Dingle (6/1), Jewel Maker (9/1), Serenity Dream (18/1), Royal Blaze (100/1)

Verdict

LERWICK ran up to his best making his all-weather debut when finishing a good second at Southwell in October and, lightly raced this year, he's of interest operating from a 1 lb higher mark. Dingle, back from a break, and Jewel Maker are others fancied to be thereabouts, as is top-weight Nikovo.

  1. Lerwick5/2
  2. Dingle6/1
  3. Jewel Maker9/1
