5/2

3 wins from 4 runs this year. Didn't need to be at best when winning 9-runner handicap (3/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago. On a roll and respected again.

Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. Below form sixth of 14 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, soft, 20/1) 30 days ago, left poorly placed. Bit to find.

Forecasts

Bergerac (11/8), Excel Power (5/2), Mitrosonfire (7/2), Strike Red (11/1), Tommy Tittlemouse (12/1)

Only a small field but none can be discounted out of hand. BERGERAC arrives here on the back of a career best and he could well follow up, but Excel Power is on a roll himself and will be a formidable opponent. Mitrosonfire, beaten narrowly by Excel Power last time, is another on the up and can't be discounted lightly.
