4/1

C&D winner. 4/1, good second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago. Latest success (last October) came on bad ground at this track, so he makes plenty of appeal.

Lightly-raced winner. 17/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 18 days ago, better placed than most. Has to be taken seriously.

Forecasts

Rory (5/2), Mokaman (7/2), Refuge (4/1), Harrogate (5/1), The Gloaming (17/2), Corton Lass (12/1), Lola Rebel (16/1), Gorgeous Gobolina (25/1)

RORY showed a good attitude to see off a subsequent winner at Ayr 18 days ago and, with few miles on the clock, there's good reason to expect further improvement from Jim Goldie's 3yo, so he gets the nod ahead of Refuge, who should give it a good go from the front. Mokaman is another one to consider.
