15/8

Yet to win but knocking on the door in AW handicaps this autumn. Not at best at Chelmsford last time but this just the sort of race he could bounce back in.

Forecasts

Elusive Tiger (15/8), Gypsy Whisper (5/2), No Diggity (13/2), Two Rivers (17/2), Typical Man (9/1), Channel Packet (11/1), Chelsea Annie (14/1), Athena Ballerina (33/1)

If ELUSIVE TIGER can be forgiven a slightly below-par run at Chelmsford last month he looks to hold a solid chance under Hollie Doyle. Gypsy Whisper was runner-up over C&D on Boxing Day and heads the dangers. The fact that No Diggity is a recent winner also affords him respect.
