Latest win at Southwell in March. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap (10/3) at Southwell (6.1f) 25 days ago. Equally effective on turf and capable of bouncing back.

With Respect (11/4), Be Prepared (7/2), Parisiac (13/2), Michaels Choice (10/1), Darvel (11/1), Oriental Spirit (11/1), Airshow (11/1), Under The Twilight (12/1), Matty Too (20/1), Gilt Edge (25/1), The Cola Kid (25/1), Sisters In The Sky (28/1)

14:45 Salisbury - 4 May 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

WITH RESPECT emphatically stopped the slide in a first-time tongue strap when successful at Southwell in February and this revised mark should be well within range. He's the most persuasive option with Oisin Murphy a positive jockey booking, though Michaels Choice is interesting having won on last season's reappearance over C&D. Oriental Spirit is also considered.
