7/4

Ran up to form when fourth of 7 in 7f handicap at Newbury (6/1) 14 days ago, taking keen hold and fading after having every chance 1f out. Assessor starting to relent and can be a factor at this level.

Forecasts

Graduated (7/4), Pietro (15/8), Tea Sea (11/4), Havana Gila (15/2), Lexington Jet (9/1), Dapper Gee Gee (16/1)

PIETRO has been in fine form with three runner-up finishes in his last five outings and he can cash in on what is a slight drop in class. Graduated is also pretty consistent and she should go well again, while Tea Sea firmly enters the reckoning on his C&D second recently.
