11/8

Successful twice during the spring and belatedly showed a mark in the low-to-mid 70s isn't necessarily beyond him when second in a C&D handicap a fortnight ago, just failing. Obvious contender.

Forecasts

Rising Force (11/8), The Sweet Escape (11/4), Sir Edward Lear (7/2), Calyxoh (8/1), Mr Ubiquitous (12/1), Currumbin (25/1), Special Ghaiyyath (33/1), Triggerman (100/1)

THE SWEET ESCAPE is thriving at present and looks the one to be with having been denied only narrowly in his hat-trick bid in a competitive handicap at Galway just under a fortnight ago. Rising Force is an obvious threat having belatedly shown he's up to defying this sort of mark with a good second over C&D recenty. Sir Edward Lear is pick of the remainder.
