5/1
Won a handicap at Kempton (18/1) 110 days ago and finished third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (10/3) 13 days ago, dwelt at start and not ideally placed. Consistent on AW and looks capable of building on recent form.

Has shown second-place finishes at Chelmsford and Southwell. Finished sixth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (22/1) 11 days ago, racing in a better race over 10f. First-time blinkers applied. Should be more competitive back in a lower grade.

Forecasts

Sheikh Raj (2/1), Towerlands (5/1), Port Road (5/1), Dark Rosa (6/1), Virtue Patience (10/1), H Key Lails (11/1), Ernie's Valentine (16/1), Riyadh Gem (16/1), Thiscouldbefun (18/1), Simply Blue (25/1)

Verdict

H KEY LAILS showed career-best form when winning comfortably at this course and distance 13 days ago and is fancied to follow up. Sheikh Raj has been consistent with placed efforts and should appreciate dropping back in grade after competing in a better race. Virtue Patience, a previous course winner, returns from wind surgery and could show improvement back on this all-weather surface.
