Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2024. Looked unlucky not to win when second of 11 in handicap (5/6) at this C&D 7 days ago, forced wide/conceding first run. One to be interested in.

Forecasts

Cargin Bhui (11/10), Waistcoat (9/2), Amerjeet (7/1), I Need Your Love (7/1), Brave Empire (7/1), Gustav Graves (10/1), Some Nightmare (12/1), Brian The Snail (14/1)

Verdict

CARGIN BHUI's losing run is mounting up but he looked unlucky not to win over C&D last week having been forced wide/conceded first run, so he's well worth the chance to make amends. Waistcoat and Amerjeet are considered the main threats.
