13/2
Bagged third success of this year when taking 6-runner handicap over C&D 12 days ago. Raised 4 lb since but looks sure to make his presence felt again.

C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Below form fourth of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good, 12/1) 39 days ago. Merits consideration.

5f maiden winner at 2 yrs twice placed on AW in recent months. Not seen to best effect at Newbury latest and remains on a workable mark.

Course winner. 33/1, bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap at this course (7f) 30 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive.

Sixth of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 10 days ago. May do better returned to AW but others are more convincing.

18/1
Back from 5 months off when creditable length third of 6 to Ziggy's Missile in handicap over C&D 12 days ago. Entitled to build on that and holds solid claims.

Forecasts

Monsieur Beaulieu (3/1), Almaty Star (7/2), The Thames Boatman (4/1), Tan Rapido (9/2), Ziggy's Missile (13/2), Fantasy Master (8/1), Blazes Boylan (18/1)

Verdict

Preference is for BLAZES BOYLAN, who has fewer miles on the clock than his rivals and should be spot on after his encouraging return from a break here last month. Ziggy's Missile and The Thames Boatman rate the principal dangers.
