16/1

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2018. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, 20/1), having to pick way through. Big ask on the back of another lengthy absence.

Foreign Legion (7/2), Crystal Dawn (7/2), Sunset Nova (9/2), Dark Kris (6/1), Katiymann (13/2), Linus Larrabee (15/2), Eglish (9/1), Strange Times (14/1), Togoville (16/1), Mr Ormsby (16/1), Poet's Pride (16/1), Master Spy (18/1), Limit Long (28/1), Hit The Silk (50/1), Annabelle Rock (66/1), Gulf Of Aidan (80/1), High Street Lady (125/1)

CRYSTAL DAWN has thrived this year and, on the back of an improved second to Eglish (who re-opposes) over C&D last month, he's fancied to reverse the form with the promising Sam Ewing back in the plate. Linus Larrabee travelled as if still ahead of his mark when eventually fourth last time, so he's also on the radar despite his quirks.
