15/8

Two wins from 5 runs last year. Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this C&D (11/4) 37 days ago, well on top finish. Up 5 lb but has taken really well to the AW and he should be bang there again.

Forecasts

Dividend (15/8), Big Sip (4/1), Ja'marr (11/2), Tremolo (11/2), Molveno (15/2), Joseph (12/1), Thunder Wonder (14/1), Tilted Kilt (18/1)

BIG SIP didn't beat a great deal but still impressed with the manner in which he got the job done at Lingfield a month ago. On that evidence, the assessor may have underestimated him slightly, so he's awarded the vote in favour of Dividend, who defends an unbeaten AW record, and Tremolo.
