12/1

Lightly-raced maiden who returned from 9 months off (gelded) with a good sixth of 12 in handicap here (8f, good to soft, 11/1) 15 days ago. Up in trip now and should have more to offer.

Forecasts

Too Don Juan (7/2), Caspian King (7/2), Best Adventure (4/1), Criminal (9/2), Sir William (13/2), Antelope (15/2), Mighty Boy (15/2), Moonjid (12/1), Premier (20/1), Kokanee (22/1)

ANTELOPE has taken his form up a level of late and is fancied to make light of another 6 lb weights rise and rattle off a quick hat-trick. Both Too Don Juan and Moonjid remain with better days ahead of them and can chase home Richard Hannon's improver in that order. Criminal completes the shortlist.
