9/4

Twenty two runs since last win in 2023 but turned in his best effort of the season when second of 6 in handicap at Epsom (6f) in August. Not in quite the same form when fourth at Brighton (6f) on Monday but he's not one to dismiss out of hand from this sort of mark.

Forecasts

Danger Alert (9/4), Sub Thirteen (9/2), Colorada Dancer (9/2), Merrimack (7/1), South Shore Island (17/2), Roman Spring (12/1), Fiorella Princess (14/1), Mammy (14/1), Twilight Madness (20/1)

SUB THIRTEEN stepped up plenty on his comeback run whilst highlighting he may well still be working his way back to full fitness when fourth at Chepstow 15 days ago and he could just be worth chancing having slipped to an attractive mark judged on last season's exploits. Danger Alert is another lurking on a dangerous mark and is feared if turning out quickly. Merrimack completes the dangers.
