One win from 22 Flat runs. Creditable second of 14 in handicap (11/1) at Tipperary (12.5f, good) 10 days ago, staying on. Losing run is off-putting but recent exploits suggest he's worth a second look

Forecasts

Church Mountain (15/8), Ellaat (3/1), Muntahez (4/1), Banjo (4/1), Lariat (6/1), Third Avenue (13/2), Tirmizi (8/1), Oh So Chic (12/1), Clifftop (12/1), Quiet Desire (14/1), Tenth Amendment (20/1), Pro Bono (20/1), Herodotus (25/1), Oromo (25/1), Evening Verse (33/1), Eagle Reel (33/1), Mokhles (40/1), Anglo Saxson (50/1), Enquire Within (50/1), Loudest Whisper (66/1), Ossco (80/1)

MUNTAHEZ has twice shaped well with a view to stepping up to this sort of trip in handicaps in recent weeks, staying on late to take third over 10f at Navan latterly, and he gets the nod to piece it all together, admittedly in a competitive affair. Tirmizi, returning on a handy-looking mark, Ellaat and Lariat are others all fancied to be involved in the finish.
