9/4
Eight-time course winner. Three wins from 9 runs last year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (3/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, driven out. Carries penalty but looks the one to beat in current mood.

Forecasts

Down To The Kid (9/4), Talis Evolvere (9/4), Doctor Khan Junior (10/3), Legal Reform (9/1), Eldrickjones (11/1), Flag Of St George (16/1), Gallant (25/1), Willem Twee (25/1), Diderot (50/1)

Verdict

A penalty forces DOWN TO THE KID into a better race but to say he's a Southwell specialist would be an understatement and he looks up to completing the hat-trick. This is a good-quality contest though, with Talis Evolvere and Legal Reform (a stablemate of the selection) also of serious interest.
