18/1

C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 5 in handicap (18/1) at Kempton (8f) 7 days ago, having run of race. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Alrehb (11/8), Eilean Dubh (13/8), Tintoretto (8/1), Baby Steps (8/1), Fieldsman (18/1), Mudlahhim (25/1), Crackling (28/1), Six Strings (50/1)

ALREHB is still lightly raced and can be excused his most recent outing at Kempton. He looks to be on a workable mark and should take the beating at this level. Eilean Dubh shaped well on his first UK start last month and he'll be a big danger. Mudlahhim could make the frame too.
