3/1

14/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 11 days ago, left with too much to do. Can defy this mark when things fall right.

80/1

Twenty seven runs since last win in 2022 and pulled up in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f) 26 days ago. Hard to fancy from well out of the weights.

Forecasts

King David (13/8), Paladin (5/2), Enpassant (3/1), Saturnalia (4/1), Starshiba (11/2), Shot Of Love (11/1), Twirler (33/1), Rainbow Sign (80/1)

ENPASSANT isn't one to have maximum faith in given his poor strike rate and tendency to miss the break, but he certainly possesses more than enough ability to defy his current mark, so he's well worth another chance in a less competitive handicap. King David and recent Southwell winner Paladin are considered the main threats.
