2/1

C&D winner. 7/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 14 days ago. Booking of Doyle a plus. Likely to be thereabouts once more, though could do with breaking on terms.

100/1

Lightly-raced winner. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 16/1). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Archie Watson. Not easy to make a case for.

28/1

Forecasts

Tipperary Jack (2/1), Brunel Charm (9/2), Full Intention (6/1), Soar Above (15/2), Maysong (15/2), Higher Kingdom (11/1), Lapidary (22/1), True Belief (25/1), One Hart (28/1), Bobby Wheeler (28/1), Grey Galleon (28/1), Enough Already (40/1), Cheat (50/1), River Song (100/1)

GREY GALLEON is in top form, pulling clear of the remainder when second at this course last time, and now has the aid of a useful 5-lb claimer back up in trip, so he gets the tentative vote in a tricky handicap. Maysong could get involved if things drop right and Tipperary Jack has been threatening to come good lately, so he also warrants consideration.
