5/1, fair fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 19 days ago. Back down in trip. Merits consideration from an easing mark.

17/2

Arrives in good order, fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 15/8) 34 days ago when seemed unsuited by drop in trip. Blinkers on now and has to be taken seriously back up to 7f.

Form: 6807-25

20/1

Tenth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

22/1

Forecasts

I Follow Rivers (85/40), Adelaide Bay (5/2), All Cost (5/1), Hype Merchant (17/2), Aim For The Bull (10/1), Rogue Destiny (16/1), Due Respect (20/1), Late Star (20/1), No Gain (22/1), College Witch (28/1), Runnindown A Dream (80/1)

HYPE MERCHANT rates the pick of the weights and, with this return to 7f looking a big plus, he gets the vote ahead of handicap debutante Rogue Destiny who appeals as a likely improver. All Cost and College Witch also enter calculations in an open handicap.
