12/1

Useful 4-time winner in France. Best run for his current yard when a patiently-ridden third of 6 in 1m4f handicap here last time. Merits serious consideration eased 1 lb.

Cock And Bull (5/4), Road To Wembley (11/4), Clockmaker (10/3), Haptics (12/1), Rock N Roll Pinkie (14/1), Ruler Legend (16/1)

David O'Meara's HAPTICS made an encouraging return under a patient ride when third here and is fancied to build on it now and gain a first win for the yard. Recent Nottingham scorer Cock And Bull rates a big threat however, while Road To Wembley and Rock N Roll Pinkie can both have a say too in this open handicap.
