6/1

Useful winner for Ger Lyons and has shown promise for his current yard. Only 12th in 7f handicap here 15 days ago but interesting back up in trip/down in grade off a handy-looking mark.

Forecasts

Tele Red (11/4), Drifts Away (11/2), Mr King (6/1), Ata Rangi (9/1), Billyb (10/1), Yaaser (10/1), Cosmos Raj (12/1), Mudamer (14/1), Northbound (16/1), Bellarchi (18/1), Chuzzlewit (20/1), Empire Of Light (22/1), Yaajooz (25/1), Mr Mistoffelees (28/1), Siam Fox (28/1), King Chaos (33/1), Bowood (33/1), Master Of Combat (50/1), Alessia Fernanda (66/1), Perseverants (66/1)

This is wide open so at the likely odds it is worth siding with MR KING to confirm earlier promise now back up in trip and gain a first win for his current yard. Northbound caught the eye when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and heads the list of dangers, while a solid case can also be made for Billyb, Yaajooz, Mudamer and Chuzzlewit.
