2/1

Got right back on track when a clear second of 7 in handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm, 11/1) 30 days ago. Big shout nudged up just 1 lb in his bid for a first success.

Form: 674-772

Scylla^v⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Doughty⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46

17/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 9/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 8 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 793747

Forecasts

Grey Owl (15/8), Wannabeawallaby (2/1), Fram Castle (8/1), Scylla (17/2), Fullforward (11/1), Breccia (14/1), Two Plus Two (16/1), Thunder Sparks (25/1), Regally Blonde (50/1), Ray's The One (50/1)

A number of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for WANNABEAWALLABY to build on his resurgent Bath second and get off the mark. The returning Grey Owl figures on a lenient mark and could emerge as the chief threat, although Ray's The One and Fram Castle also need factoring in.
