5/2

Lightly-raced maiden who shaped well when third of 9 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D (good) 23 days ago, set a lot to do. First two have gone in since so he's a big player off an unchanged mark.

Forecasts

Spooky Wooky (5/2), Aighear (11/4), Young Merlin (5/1), Quercus Robur (6/1), Ebony Maw (15/2), Reel Her In (12/1), Rory The Cat (22/1), Star Of Markinch (33/1), Woodshaw (33/1)

SPOOKY WOOKY caught the eye when a running-on third over C&D last time and with that form having been very well advertised since he can get off the mark. Newbury runner-up Aighear appeals as the one to chase home Simon West's 3-y-o ahead of in-form duo Quercus Robur and Rory The Cat.
