10/1

Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 7/2) 7 days ago, finishing with running left. One to consider from a handy mark.

Forecasts

Ace Rothstein (5/2), Scampi (9/2), Rewired (6/1), Chichester (13/2), Painless Potter (15/2), Red October (9/1), Oslo (10/1), Tregony (14/1), Highwaygrey (25/1)

ACE ROTHSTEIN was much improved when making a successful seasonal/handicap debut at Yarmouth, impressing with how readily he went clear off a steady pace, so he's a straightforward selection. Most of the others have something to recommend them, however, with both Oslo and Rewired appealing as notable dangers.
