C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap (11/2) at Southwell (12.1f) 16 days ago, left poorly placed. Remains 3 lb above his last winning mark and he's probably worth taking on.

Form: 4-11608

8/1

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good, 28/1) 61 days ago (gelded since). Up in trip for this tapeta debut. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Bohemian Breeze.

Forecasts

Bohemian Breeze (4/1), Roger Henry (5/1), Brunello Breeze (5/1), Evening Story (7/1), Freedom Day (15/2), Willy Campbell (8/1), Jack Sparowe (17/2), Desperate Dan (12/1), Maith An Farhh (18/1), Voyeur (28/1), Stand Strong (40/1)

The vote goes to EVENING STORY, who didn't do much wrong when third at Southwell recently and she represents a yard that is enjoying something of a purple patch. Bohemian Breeze has been knocking on the door of late and he is likely to offer stern resistance, while Willy Campbell still has low mileage and could have a part to play.
