Back on a competitive mark at 1lb lower than his last win and ran well on his reappearance. Could have finished closer with a clear passage and tends to be better with a run behind him. Should go close.
Three-time C&D winner and now 5lb below the last of them. Better suited by step up in trip following a third over 5f here. Could go well but proving inconsistent.
Enjoying a fine run of form in last five starts with three seconds and a win over this trip on fibresand plus a win over 5f here. Hard to discount but more needed off revised mark and up in grade.
Last four wins came over this C&D including off this current mark. Should be fitter for his latest reappearance but has never won in a grade this high.
Forecasts
Mr Orange (10/3), Cale Lane (7/2), Socialites Red (7/2), Highly Sprung (4/1), Round The Island (9/2), Seen The Lyte (11/1)
The in-form mare Socialites Red gets a deserved step up in class and shouldn't be far away. Seen The Lyte is reliable and a big danger but MR ORANGE looks on a good mark and likewise will be better for his reappearance.
