Made a winning return at Southwell in January and dispelled a couple of lesser efforts when fifth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, firm) 11 days ago. Steps down in class with a hood/cheekpieces reached for and promising rider takes off a handy 5 lb. One to consider.

Back on track switched to the minimum trip in recent months, shedding maiden tag at Lingfield (5f) in May. Excuses at York next time and wasted no time returning to form when rallying for second at Windsor (5f) 18 days ago, Possibilities on the back of a 2 lb weights rise.

13/2

Maiden winner at Hamilton over 6f for Karl Burke last summer. Yet to add to that for present yard but he produced a respectable effort when fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f) 4 weeks ago. Pulled hard last time he was tried in a visor but that run came over 7f.

Forecasts

Adalida (6/4), Ambishio (15/8), London Is Blue (7/2), Victor Cee (13/2)

AMBISHIO stepped up on his last 2 starts following a 5-week break when a far from disgraced fifth at Newmarket 11 days ago and, with his rider taking off a handy 5 lb down in grade, he could well be the answer. Adalida finished a good second at Windsor recently and she's another fully expected to be in the thick of things.
