Citizen General¹⁷

13/8

Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (7/2) at this C&D 17 days ago, well on top finish. 4 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid.

Forecasts

Citizen General (13/8), Gliding Bay (7/2), Unplugged (4/1), Graph (9/2), The Dancing Poet (10/1), Agilulf (28/1), Madeeh (28/1)

The drop in class coupled with step up in trip could be just the ticket for UNPLUGGED and he's just 1 lb above his winning mark, so he looks ready to strike. Citizen General is the obvious alternative on the back of a career-best win, with Gliding Bay another to consider.
