4/1

Shaped better than the bare result on first outing since leaving John O'Shea after 4 months off when sixth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, gambled-on 7/2) 4 weeks ago. Makes tapeta debut. One to be interested in, especially now stepped back up to 1m.

Forecasts

Ledger (11/4), Marisitta (4/1), Kodebreaker (4/1), Warrior Square (6/1), Equiami (13/2), Revoquable (12/1), Maraakiz (16/1), Big Narstie (16/1), Tom Tulliver (28/1), Qaabil (28/1), Independent Beauty (125/1), Beau Geste (125/1)

This can go the way of KODEBREAKER, who won twice at this venue earlier in the year and Michael Herrington's 4-y-o can capitalise on this drop in grade down at a career-low mark. Ledger arrives in form, so he could give the selection most to think about, with Warrior Square and Marisitta another couple fancied to be in the mix.
