Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (7.1f, 7/2) 21 days ago. Hiked up 9 lb here but still can't be discounted.

7/1
Course winner who got right back on track refitted with cheekpieces when second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 15 days ago. Merits serious consideration with headgear again sported.

Forecasts

Newtown Duke (9/4), Jesmond Dawn (9/2), Alpine Sierra (13/2), Powerful Response (7/1), Cusack (17/2), Jewel Maker (17/2), Look Back Smiling (17/2), Tasever (14/1), Star Cast (22/1), Book Of Life (25/1), Pallas Lord (50/1), Royal College (125/1)

Verdict

This is wide open but it could pay to side with course scorer POWERFUL RESPONSE who signalled he is ready to strike again when a resurgent second over C&D recently. Jewel Maker wasn't seen to best effect when fourth over C&D last time and this three-time C&D winner is feared most ahead of Alpine Sierra and Jesmond Dawn.
