11/4

Enthusiastic front runner who won at Southwell in January from a 3 lb higher mark and has turned in a couple of respectable efforts of late. Goes back sprinting with the visor refitted, just as it was for that most recent success.

Won maiden and novice at Ripon last year. Ran well when third over 5f here on reappearance but may have found the race coming too soon back at Ripon last time. Needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

The Good Biscuit (1/1), Trilby (5/2), Bell Shot (11/4), Goyard (4/1), Iris Dancer (8/1)

A small field and BELL SHOT can finally take advantage of a handy mark with the headgear refitted. Trilby is entitled to be on the premises if taking up this engagement, with last-time-out winner The Good Biscuit sure to be thereabouts, too.
