12/1
Three-time course and distance winner who has run well since being fitted with a hood. Third of 8 in a Newcastle handicap over 7f (11/2) 12 days ago, moved well through the race but found little off the bridle. Return to 6f looks a good move.

Won a 5.7f handicap at Bath with 8 runners (5/1) 33 days ago, producing a career best with an ideal set-up behind duelling leaders. Not an obvious one for the follow up.

Forecasts

State Of Madness (11/4), Hunky Dory (3/1), Kirkdale (5/1), Valentine Catcher (15/2), Monsieur Kodi (9/1), Thunderstorm Katie (10/1), Brazilian Rose (12/1), I Need Your Love (16/1), Mart (20/1), Lord Abama (25/1), Hiatus (50/1)

Verdict

STATE OF MADNESS has flourished since joining his current yard with two wins and a narrow second from three starts and looks well placed to resume winning ways after a 42-day break. Brazilian Rose, a three-time course and distance winner, should appreciate returning to 6f. Kirkdale, twice runner-up here recently, needs delivering late and can strike again soon if everything falls right. The thriving Thunderstorm Katie must be considered also.
