4/1

Resumed winning ways at Kempton (11f) in March and backed it up with a good fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (11f) 24 days ago. This C&D scorer needs considering for his in-form handler.

Forecasts

Glint Of Light (13/8), Shady Bay (3/1), Kurios Lady (7/2), Solanna (4/1), It's Only Fun (16/1)

GLINT OF LIGHT made a promising start for Edward Smyth-Osbourne when runner-up at Doncaster last month and this lightly-raced daughter of Cracksman is weighted to go one better here with the highly promising claimer Ashley Lewis again in the saddle. In-form duo Solanna and Kurios Lady can chase her home in that order.
