80/1

Drops to claiming company after a fourth in low grade handicap last time. Set an incredibly tough task on these terms and hard to make a case for.

First Flight¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: H Main| OR: 77

5/6

Yet to win in just three starts on the AW however by far best recent run came over this C&D when fourth in a competitive handicap in December. Well backed latest but didn't take to cheekpieces and looks the one to beat on these terms.

Forecasts

First Flight (5/6), Tha'ir (11/8), Barwick (11/4), Monsieur Jimmy (8/1), Thecornishbarron (80/1)

There's no obvious front-runner which may present an opportunity for Tha'ir who likes to run on the pace and reserves his best for this C&D. Barwick boasts the highest official rating but has questions to answer while Monsieur Jimmy is on a good mark but needs to win outside Southwell. FIRST FLIGHT gets the verdict on his very good run here on his last visit and on recent efforts is best in on these terms.
