Age: 7| Weight: 9-9| J: Jordan Williams⁽³⁾| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 75| CD

12/1

C&D winner. First run since leaving Archie Watson when creditable third of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 88 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not out of things.

7/2

Posted best effort for some time when ¾-length second of 10 to Etretat in handicap over C&D (AW) 35 days ago, clear of rest. 3 lb higher now but ought to go well again.

Form: 41355-2

Forecasts

Tribal Wisdom (7/2), Etretat (7/2), Raintown (5/1), Annexation (5/1), Early Morning Dew (5/1), Obsidian Knight (9/1), Polling Day (12/1), Caelan (28/1)

ANNEXATION ran a cracker on his debut for Tony Carroll here last month and remains fairly treated. He gets the nod in the opener. Etretat and Tribal Wisdom should also go well.
