4/1

Still looking for first success but has performed well in all 4 starts this year, latest when second of 10 in handicap (13/2) at this course (16.5f) 12 days ago. Races off same mark here and another bold bid is on the cards.

Fiftyshadesaresdev^p,t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 50

10/3

Run creditably, upped significantly in trip, when third of 10 in handicap at this course (16.5f, 6/1) 12 days ago, having run of race. With his mark unchanged, he is likely to be in the mix again.

13/8

Found improvement when getting off the mark over C&D in February and posted respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (16.5f, 11/10) since, not ideally placed. Holds leading claims.

Forecasts

Leon Trotsky (13/8), Fiftyshadesaresdev (10/3), Balgowan (4/1), Spartan Times (7/1), Yakhabar (14/1), Scylla (14/1), Typewritten (22/1), Unification (25/1), Kitten's Dream (66/1), Anificas Beauty (80/1)

C&D winner LEON TROTSKY wasn't seen to best effect in his follow-up bid here last month and is fancied to make amends in the finale. The consistent pair Balgowan and Fiftyshadesaresdev should also go well.
