A fair 5f winner. Shaped as if needing the run after 9 weeks off when last of 6 in handicap at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Can take a step forward.

Forecasts

Alfa Duplicate (7/4), U S S Charleston (2/1), Hanney Girl (10/3), Big Fun (12/1), Dragon Spin (12/1), Kanishka (14/1), Henrythenate (22/1)

U S S CHARLESTON shaped as though the return to this trip would suit when fading late into fourth over 6f at Brighton last time so looks the way to go. In-form Hanney Girl appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Alfa Duplicate who is handily drawn to attack.
