66/1

Had a respectable third at Wolverhampton (6f) in February before finishing fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) a month later. First run after wind surgery and he may just need this.

7/1

Forecasts

Langholm (9/4), Bandello (7/2), Blue Jay Way (4/1), Glendown (7/1), Crocus Time (8/1), Bazball (9/1), Pinjarra (12/1), Elegant Call (16/1), Crafty Spirit (28/1), Bossy Parker (66/1)

BAZBALL recorded her first success in over two years at Newcastle 12 days ago and retains handicapping scope based on old form. She's taken to follow up at the main expense of Bandello, who is still a maiden but finished third at this track 35 days ago and should appreciate the drop to 6f. Langholm, a winner here in August, is another to consider.
