Edged down towards last winning mark and stepped up on reappearance when good second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 13 days ago. Stall 10 isn't ideal but he can give it another good go.

Forecasts

Final Night (1/1), Ted Le Saux (3/1), Mr Baloo (5/1), Champagne Powder (11/2), Helm Rock (15/2), Silca Bay (8/1), Brave Byreflection (22/1), Greatbritishdream (28/1), Redbud Sixteen (33/1), Valentine Boy (40/1)

This track may be more suitable than Newcastle last time for CHAMPAGNE POWDER and with that race working out well, he looks interesting eased slightly in class. The thriving Final Night was ahead of the selection there and can boast a formidable record over C&D so he's on the shortlist, along with Helm Rock.
