8/1

Latest win at Carlisle in June. Better than result when third of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Ayr (8f, good) 11 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal and rider unable to offer assistance through injury. Expected to be bang there.

Forecasts

Fourth Time Lucky (9/2), Antagonize (9/2), Can't Stop Now (6/1), Alpine Sierra (6/1), Dougies Dream (7/1), Temper Trap (15/2), End Zone (8/1), Spanish Hustle (12/1), Chinese Spirit (28/1), Gordonstoun (40/1), Banner Road (66/1)

ANTAGONIZE was reeled in late by a 3-y-o at Carlisle 3 weeks ago and on the back of that sound effort, a 1 lb rise won't prevent another very bold bid. Dougies Dream and End Zone are a couple of potential threats.
