One standout effort when second at Lingfield in July. Seventh of 12 in handicap over 12f at Lingfield Park (15/2) 17 days ago, plodded on. Significant step up in trip today needs to bring improvement.

Forecasts

Grey Owl (5/2), Fram Castle (4/1), Sydney Seabreeze (13/2), Fair Dinkum (13/2), Inlet (15/2), Blenheim Lad (9/1), Velvet Vulcan (12/1), Smith (20/1), Leonidass (20/1), Girl Of Gold (22/1), Certain Style (40/1), Izakaya (40/1), Ruler Of The River (66/1)

FRAM CASTLE has been running creditably since his Kempton win in June, twice finishing second including when hampered last time. The return to 16f on AW with first-time cheekpieces should suit. Grey Owl has been consistent, while Fair Dinkum is lurking on a dangerous mark.
