13/8

Shaped with promise in a couple of outings last month, latest when respectable fourth of 15 in handicap chase at Thurles (18.3f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Blinkers now added for first time and holds strong claims.

Consistent sort who posted another solid effort when third of 8 in handicap chase at Musselburgh (15.8f, good to soft, 4/1) 18 days ago. 1 lb lower now and looks sure to go well again.

Forecasts

Toon Town (13/8), Prospect House (7/4), Zero Tolerance (9/2), Getaway Jewel (9/1), Blazing Court (10/1)

With his yard back amongst the winners, Irish raider TOON TOWN could be the way to go here. Prospect House rarely runs a bad race and gets the forecast vote.
