10/1

Modest form in recent handicaps but showed signs of returning to form when sixth of 10 at Wolverhampton (11/1) 26 days ago, beaten 2 lengths. First-time eyeshields, mark continues to fall and could be competitive.

3/1

Previously ran respectably with a couple of fourth-place finishes in handicaps. Won over course and distance 19 days ago as 10/3 favourite, finally getting off the mark after breaking on terms this time. Up 3 lbs but has shown capability at this track which bodes well.

Forecasts

Operation Gimcrack (3/1), Moyowasi (10/3), Rusheen Boy (9/2), Bomb Squad (5/1), Ardaddy (10/1), Act Of Violence (10/1), Flash The Dash (11/1), Simply Blue (16/1), Six Of Diamonds (66/1)

BOMB SQUAD is a reliable performer who narrowly lost at this course/distance 41 days ago and should go well again. Moyowasi won over course and distance 19 days ago but wasn't ideally placed when fourth at Newcastle recently, while Operation Gimcrack finally got off the mark here 19 days ago after breaking on terms and has shown capability at this track.
