17/2

Good second of 7 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 18 days ago, having run of race. Isn't the easiest to predict but a repeat of that will see him involved again.

Forecasts

Ower Starlight (2/1), Seattle King (10/3), Eastern Star (11/2), Dew You Believe (17/2), Hannah's Return (9/1), Pittsburg (11/1), Think Trigger (12/1), Endofastorm (16/1), Fast Flo (33/1), Purple Poppy (40/1), Reel Power (66/1)

THINK TRIGGER's reappearance was hardly brimming with promise but there's definite cause for optimism over this more suitable trip with that race likely to have blown the cobwebs away. Dew You Believe and Ower Starlight look the chief threats.
