7/4

Resumed winning ways by a wide margin for in-form yard in 10-runner handicap at this C&D (9/2) 16 days ago, leading over 1f out after very slowly away. Handicapper has reacted with a 6 lb rise but he remains well treated on old form.

Forecasts

Chola Empire (6/4), Soames Forsyte (7/4), King David (3/1), Onemorenomore (4/1), Ten Commitments (5/1), Lucky Out (12/1), Guy Fawkes (14/1), Three Yorkshiremen (20/1)

SOAMES FORSYTE added a second success this winter to his tally over C&D earlier in the month and, remaining well treated on old form, Michael Herrington's 6-y-o can make it 3 wins from his last 4 outings. The main threat may emerge from Ten Commitments, who was last seen in winning action at Kempton in October and has since joined Scott Dixon. Onemorenomore is picked for third.
