Very well treated nowadays and ran creditably when fourth of 23 at Goodwood 11 days ago. Now drops markedly in grade and could well dominate this small field so this looks an excellent opportunity to resume winning ways.

Second at York in July after third of 9 over C&D in June and easily excused latest effort when poorly drawn in a higher grade at Goodwood. Should prove more at home here.

Won for Robert Cowell at Lingfield in March but has gone the wrong way since and now starts out for a new yard with something to prove back on turf.

Won at Chester over 6f in May and, though winless in 4 subsequent runs, all at that track, he didn't get a fair crack of the whip when ninth of 11 from outside stall last time. Could be a player if proving as effective here.

Runner-up in lower grade races last 2 starts, bumping into a subsequent winner at Newcastle on the all-weather in June before second of 17 at York 14 days ago. Yet to win on turf but could take a hand in current heart.

Forecasts

Democracy Dilemma (5/4), Sports Coach (9/4), Spring Is Sprung (4/1), Rosenpur (12/1), Fidelius (12/1)

Verdict

DEMOCRACY DILEMMA showed he's in good heart at Goodwood last time and this is a much lower grade than he's faced for a long time so he could prove very hard to peg back. Spring Is Sprung is another class dropper and could give him most to think about.
