4/1

Lightly-raced since winning a 7f handicap at Kempton in April 2016. Improved on stable debut when finishing sixth over the same C&D recently but likely needs to improve again to take this contest.

Forecasts

Toriano (6/4), Sweet Nature (7/4), Footstepsintherain (4/1), Middlescence (7/1), Robert The Painter (14/1), Polly's Gold (14/1)

TORIANO performed well when placed on his most recent start and he can claim this small field 1m handicap contest. Of his rivals here Sweet Nature has won over this trip in the past and can claim second ahead of Robert The Painter who should appreciate this drop in distance.
