5/1

Still quite lightly raced and resumed his progress with success in 10-runner handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 5/1) 15 days ago. Merits serious consideration despite a 2 lb weights rise.

10/1

Comes here below par, sixth of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (7.1f) 8 days ago, though he raced closer to strong pace than ideal. Others are still preferred.

Forecasts

Tomorrow Day (5/4), Lumenbourg (5/1), Saisons D'Or (11/2), Bobby Joe Leg (6/1), Yorkstone (10/1), Alfie Boy (10/1), Made All (11/1), Broken Spear (25/1)

LUMENBOURG showed a good attitude when going in at Southwell last time and can defy a 2 lb weight rise with relatively few miles still on the clock. Multiple course scorer Tomorrow Day rates the main danger, with Saisons d'Or and Made All appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
