6/1

4 time Dundalk winner in 2021. Ran one of lesser races when ninth of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 20/1) back in February. Not seen since and he's an interesting runner on first start on these shores for his new yard (sold for 48,000 gns).

9/2

Latest win at Newcastle in August. 7/2, run best excused when twelfth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 9 days ago, no room from 2f out and not given a hard time once getting gap. Fancied to have a big say.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: S C Williams| OR: 85| CD

9/4

7/2, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this C&D 39 days ago, leading over 1f out and digging deep. Up 5 lb for that success and there could be more to come from this 3-y-o.

Forecasts

Bear Profit (9/4), Open Mind (4/1), Badri (9/2), Meishar (6/1), Cairn Gorm (8/1), Nelson Gay (9/1), Quest For Fun (9/1), Stockpyle (10/1), Impeach (10/1), Dig Two (16/1), Mohareb (18/1)

With BADRI's latest effort at Newcastle easily excused (going well when no room from 2f out), Ruth Carr's charge is fancied to resume his progress and notch a third win in his last 5 outings. Quest For Fun is another whose last couple of efforts can have a line put through them so he may emerge as the main danger, while Meishar is an interesting runner on first outing for new connections.
