On a losing run but he posted a solid fourth of 9 in 6f handicap at Newcastle in January, challenging wide. Weighted to go well after a break.

Remains a maiden after 20 runs. 7/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, badly bumped start when second of 11 in 6f handicap at Kempton 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on now and needs considering.

Forecasts

Cayman Tai (7/4), Kirkdale (9/4), Valsharah (11/2), Lequinto (10/1), Pianoforte (10/1), Brian The Snail (12/1), Punchbowl Flyer (16/1), Due Date (40/1), Megaphone (80/1)

Verdict

A few with chances but it could pay to side with CAYMAN TAI who looked an unlucky loser when runner-up at Newcastle last time and hails from a yard among the winners. Kirkdale is weighted to have a big say after a break and rates next best, although both Punchbowl Flyer and Valsharah are also well in the mix.

  1. Cayman Tai7/4
  2. Kirkdale9/4
  3. Punchbowl Flyer16/1
