In the twilight of his career and now 27lb lower than his last win back in October 2015 at Leicester when in the hands of Henry Candy. Looks a tall order given recent form.

Forecasts

Master Speaker (13/8), Togoville (3/1), Captain Dion (7/2), Kindly (8/1), Art Nouvelle (8/1), Dinkum Diamond (20/1), Amanaat (33/1), Steelriver (40/1)

Kindly usually likes to get on with things from the front but could set the race up for the close to pace runners Togoville and last time out C&D winner MASTER SPEAKER who will take all the beating if returning in the form shown last month.
